BBC Radio Suffolk - Rob Dunger, Addiction and crime, finding faith, rowing the atlantic

Breaking the cycle of drugs and crime in Suffolk and rowing the Atlantic.

Breaking the cycle of drugs and crime in Suffolk, and rowing the Atlantic - a Suffolk graduate sets off.

A strong theme of positive stories, despite some big problems in the lives of several young people in Suffolk.

Rob hears the story of Scott who grew up in the West Suffolk area. He's now 29 and being supported by the Westminster Drug Project (WDP) who run the Drug Intervention Service in Suffolk.

In a frank and honest interview he explains how his life took the route of crime and addiction, and why he has been able to change.


Aspiring musician Rayon Nelson, originally from Jamaica, talks about studying at University Campus Suffolk and the journey which brought him to Ipswich.

"Growing up in a difficult life and believing in God taught me morals and to uphold standards for my life. Not taking things for granted and not too proud to help others."


The chief executive of the Suffolk Young People's Health Project 4YP, Dawn Henry, share some of her highlights of the year.

The organisation is looking for more support in 2012 and will be announcing their first ever patron.


Suffolk graduate Adam Wolley explains why he's embarking on little trip... rowing across the Atlantic.

Atlantic4 crew start their 3,000 mile rowing challenge in aid of Spinal Research, departing the Spanish port of San Sebastian  en route to Port Charles, Barbados.

The start of BBC Radio Suffolk's 'Who Cares?' series kicks off with a look at the big challenges facing Suffolk in the way we care for our elderly.

And on a lighter note, there's music and reaction from the Children in need Carol Concert at Snape, a bath-shaped alter in Bury St Edmunds and a little bit of Wassailing.
