One of the songs on the Susy Radio Christmas list has been creating a stir locally and online. Written and recorded by a group of five Year 8 students from Oakwood School, Horley ‘My Time of Year’, a Christmas song to help raise money for Bace, the school charity has received encouragement from Sir Richard Branson. The Virgin boss sent a tweet saying ‘Many congratulations, what a lovely idea and song – best of luck with your campaign’.

The five students Evie, Lola, Isabella, Alice and Leyla recording as ‘The Electricals’ have also performed the song at the Oakwood School Concert and have featured in The Crawley Observer. The song is available for download to help raise funds and awareness for Bace, a charity that helps children in rural communities in The Gambia access education and health services.
