All the latest from Beacon with Helen and Muhammed.

With a series of essential bills rising this month, we have all the latest news and information about some of the events happening across the Black Country, to help support us through these difficult times.

There’s some more fascinating nostalgia too, as we continue our International Women’s Day series, celebrating and championing the region’s finest.

In this week’s sports section, we celebrate and champion the achievements of some recently honoured visually impaired and disabled athletes. 

You’ll have to be sharp of mind as we have another challenging did you know feature from Roger and quiz with Meena.

We’ve had some splendid sunshine to welcome in April, but will it continue? we hear from Meena, who has the forecast for the week ahead!

And we have another fabulous easy to follow recipe from the Blind Baker, Penny Melville Brown.
