Phoenix FM Championing Inclusivity for People with Learning Disabilities

Phoenix FM continues to support inclusivity by giving a voice to initiatives that empower people with learning disabilities. In a recent feature, the station highlighted the return of Starburst, an inclusive nightclub experience designed to create a fun and welcoming space for all. By promoting events like this, Phoenix FM helps raise awareness, foster community spirit, and celebrate diversity in the local area.

After a long break, Starburst is set to rumble in Brentwood once again!

Starbust is an evening organised by Brentwood charity Frontline Partnership. It promises an inclusive nightclub night for those with, and without, a disability.

Samantha Deeks from Frontline came into the studio with Jamie and David to talk to our Drive host, Jo Bailey, about the importance of these events and her aim to make it a success, which will ensure similar nights in the future.

The first event takes place from 7pm-10pm on Thursday 21 November at Old Brentwoods Rugby Club in Ashwells Road and is a collaboration with another local charity, Wipe Away Those Tears, who are sponsoring the event.

Starbust is the latest initiative from the charity after the recent success of Meet Up Mondays.
