Jon Andrews / Radio Presenter

Jon is a true veteran of the airwaves because over the past 20 years he has been involved in some form or another with radio whether it is with small time local hospital radio stations or the more widely known licensed radio stations broadcasting to the public at large. So he brings a very broad range of broadcasting experience to SHCR.

By sheer good fortune it was largely though Jon’s involvement with hospital radio that he experienced a road to Damascus moment and he realised that he wanted to be involved with and secure a career within the mental health charity sector and that passion led him to working with Mencap.  Jon has been with them since 2012 and Jon’s particular focus is with those who are on the autistic spectrum.

So what can you expect to hear on Jon’s show? First of all it’s worth noting that “Sunny Sessions” is sponsored by The Sunnybank Trust which is a registered charity based in Epsom. This is an organisation that provides support across Northeast Surrey to adults with learning disabilities to live their lives to the best of their abilities and to control their lives with confidence and without prejudice.  So during the course of the show you can expect to hear frequent interviews with those involved with the trust; news about events in and around Epsom all held together with a steady flow of well-known chart toppers from across the decades.

To a large extent Jon is the epitome of what SHCR stands for.
