Podcast feedKickstarting New Careers Through Access Courses
Matthew Clarke and Bradley Moon both left school at 16 with low qualifications. Matthew struggled with dyslexia and a lack of support at school. Bradley wasn’t interested in education, preferring to play football. Later in life, they each discovered the Access to Higher Education Programme, which has changed their lives. Here they talk with Camden Community Radio’s Alix Hattenstone about how Matthew has graduated with a first class Degree in Sports Science and Bradley is going into the third year of a Degree in Biomedical Science.

Royal Café Closed by Network Rail Rent Hike
The Royal Café has been serving up food and drink to locals and tourists in Camden for twenty-four years. It’s a part of the community. It was started by Ayse and her husband in 1993 and they’ve run it ever since. But now they’re having to shut up shop because Network Rail, who owns the property, has increased their rent by 100%.
