Hi, my name is Dave Perry, and I am the Presenter and Vice Chairman of Millside Hospital Radio. We broadcast to all patients at Kingsmill Hospital and have done live broadcasts via the internet.
The Radio Station is run by a team of volunteers and is into its 31st year of broadcasting. Airing a varied range of both live shows and specialist shows it broadcasts 24/7, but the most important part of the daily broadcasts is the personal choice music requests from patients at Kingsmill Hospital.
We have still been able to entertain the patients 24/7 throughout the Pandemic, both from home via the internet and from the hospital, helping to give patients a taste of home while no visitors were allowed. We organised a ‘message from the family’ service as another way for families to communicate when it was needed the most. This has proven to be a lifeline for people when they feel alone and vulnerable. Millside Radio has been bringing a ray of sunshine to the Hospital patients in their beds. Hospital Radio is only allowed sponsorship, all other adverts are for voluntary groups or giving advice on medical contacts ie Macmillan, Alzheimer’s Association, Care of the Elderly and many more.
I would just like to say that I am a resident of Pinxton Villiage and I am lucky enough to get the Voice Magazine delivered. I find the magazine a well-designed and informative read.

BRACKENFIELD ALPACAS
The Voice Magazine team were incredibly lucky to be invited for the unique experience of a 90-minute Alpaca trek which includes the opportunity to meet and feed all the lovely Alpacas. We all arrived at Mount Pleasant Farm and our friendly hosts gave us a very entertaining and informative introduction to the Alpacas, the different varieties, their uses and a little about their individual personalities. The alpacas were harnessed ready to go. Each chose the Voice team member they wanted to walk with, and we were off. There was lots stops to nibble grass and bushes (the Alpacas had a bit to eat as well!). First stop the area around the female Alpacas field enclosure where we all instantly fell in love with the baby Alpacas, one of which had only been born a few hours before we arrived. Everyone was amazed at how big she was and how steady she was on her feet. They were all so cute staying close by their mothers. Happiness is a baby Alpaca! Continuing our trek, we visited lots of different areas of the farm, with plenty of photo opportunities. The Alpacas do tend to stop quite a lot enabling us to enjoy lots of Alpaca stroking, petting, and cuddling along the way (they are so soft and cuddly). We all had a fantastic time. I think each and every one of us would have happily taken at least one of the Alpacas home with us. Thank you for having us Brackenfield Alpacas we had a wonderful time.
PRIZE - Name the baby Alpaca
and bring the family for a meet and greet with new mother Miss Fay, her baby and all the other Alpacas.
Last month the beautiful Miss Fay gave birth to her daughter. (Date – 20/7/2021, Time - 2pm weight- 10kg) The tan-brown ball of fluff is ready to be named. So, get your thinking caps on! We are running a competition to name the newborn baby Alpaca. The prize includes not only a meet and greet of both mother and baby but also a family ticket to do an alpaca trek with a meet and feed all the lovely alpacas at Brackenfield. To enter simply email your Alpaca baby names to the following email info@voicemagazines.co.uk with the title ‘Alpaca Baby Names Competition’, including your name and telephone number no later than 23rd August 2021
Brackenfield Alpacas gave us this information about Miss Fay:Miss Fay was born on the 2 July 2018 and weighed 11kgs, which is big for an Alpaca. As a result, she struggled to get underneath and to feed from Miss Lily (her mother) and very nearly died when she was a few days old. Our local vet, Fay, was able to save her and as a result we named her Miss Fay. Because she could not feed from her mother, we had to bottle feed her for the first 6 months. We trained her to run over to us when we whistled to get her bottle of milk. Since her rocky start she has flourished and grown into one of the biggest Alpacas on the farm. Despite this, we still call her ‘Little Miss Fay’, which is what we called her when she was a poorly 26 Don’t forget to mention Voice Magazines baby. She was mated in 2020 with Arabian Night (a handsome chestnut brown Alpaca). when responding to the Ads

KIDS & FAMILIES NEW OFFER FOR 2021
DISCOVER THE BEAUTIFUL VALLEY THAT CHANGED THE WORLD!
For the first time ever, volunteers at two of the main attractions in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site are coming together in a new venture to share their astounding expertise with the public. Cromford Mills and Strutt’s North Mill in Belper are running a programme of escorted full day tours of the historic valley, taking in all the popular sites and some fascinating lesser-known ones.
Trevor Griffin, the volunteer team manager said, “The team must have over a century of experience between them in leading tours and each one has learnt a lot more about the valley in order to spread their professionalism wider. We know that people will enjoy spending their day being personally escorted and looked after by very knowledgeable and entertaining people.”
The tours are part of an experiment funded through Great Place, a joint National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England Scheme. The Chair of the Great Place Scheme Board, Professor Ian Whitehead, said “It’s important to look at new ideas which engage wider audiences with the World Heritage Site and its stories. The Experiment Fund has been a great opportunity for us to test out some of those ideas, and we hope the tours will be a great success for the valley.”
There are three different tours on offer. One covers the highlights and takes in Cromford Mills, the Cromford Canal, the High Peak Railway, Belper Mill and Darley Abbey, with walking tours and visits. The two other tours give a more detailed exploration of the Cromford and Belper areas generally. Guests are picked up in either Derby or Matlock and tours provide value for money lunch opportunities. A great deal of care is being taken to make tours covid secure with restricted numbers and the use of personal audio equipment to always allow social distancing.
Tickets are currently on offer at an incredible bargain price of just £25, through the Derwent Valley Tours website.
This initiative could generate further cooperation between the various attractions in the valley to make this part of Derbyshire take its well-deserved position as a major tourist destination. It also pioneers green tourism in that it allows people to visit and get around the area while leaving their cars behind, reducing congestion and pollution.
