Huge welcome to our newest journalist Roberta Collyer✍

"My name is Roberta Collyer and I am a freelance multi-media journalist, currently completing my Master’s at Newcastle University I have a vested interest in grassroots-level sports, having previously competed nationally in athletics for my local team. However, recently I’m more often found following my local football team Belper FC (Belper Town FC & Belper Town Ladies FC), home and away. Art and media have always been immensely important to me, and I am always looking for new exhibitions in my local area while finding time to paint and draw when I’m not studying."
