Hi there Jimmy,
It was indeed a pleasure to speak with you on the phone yesterday and as promised, here is a little more information about our programme.
Give Me A Voice is a 30 minute pre recorded programme that gives ordinary people living in the communities of Scotland the opportunity to give voice to an issue or campaign that they feel strongly about. We would be very interested in making a programme with you and other members of your group to help raise the awareness of grand parents rights.
It would be our intentions to join you in George Square on the 4th March and to interview yourself after the demonstration as well as some other grandparents.
I would be most appreciative if you were able to put me in touch with other grandparents who have either had the experience of being by passed by social services, resulting in their grandchildren being passed onto either other family members or complete strangers and also perhaps some grandparents who still have unresolved issues in gaining access to their grandchildren.
I fully understand that this can be a very sensitive area for some grandparents but for the purposes of the programme, we can change their names and not reveal any identifying features about where they live or where their grandchildren are.
I am working to a tight deadline for this programme so it would be great if we were able to establish contact with other grandparents within the next couple of days.

Kind regards

Phil
