Press
This page includes our appearances in the press, including printed articles, radio and TV interviews. We'd like to thank everyone who have helped us to get the word out about HCO. In particular, Jo Thoenes (Jo in the Afternoon) and the team at BBC Radio Oxford have given us lots of airtime; the Banbury Guardian have also given us lots of coverage of our events.
