Graham Daniels

Rosa Hunt is joined by Graham Daniels, general director of Christians in Sport. The charity supports sportspeople in competitive and elite sport to live out their Christian faith, as well as working with churches, schools, and clubs to integrate faith and sport. Born in Llanelli and growing up in the 1970s, rugby was ingrained in the social fabric of Graham's community. But from a young age he dreamt of being a professional footballer. He went on to achieve this ambition in a highly competitive field, playing for Cambridge United, and he is now a director of the club. In 1984, Graham became a Christian, a moment that sparked a journey into ministry and shaped a lifelong commitment to living out his Christian faith through sport. Rosa and Graham share a warm hearted conversation to mark fifty years since the foundation of the charity.

This weekend we’ve just had Valentine’s Day – for some it’s very much a romantic occasion, but for many others the day isn’t anything to celebrate at all – it compounds their sense of loneliness. In this week's programme the guest presenter Richard Littledale, a retired Baptist minister and a writer and podcaster working in Colwyn Bay, explores the subject from a personal perspective. Nine years ago his wife Fiona died of cancer and loneliness has been a fact of life for him ever since. During the programme, Richard visits a café, a farm and a hospice and talks to a psychology student who's has battled loneliness. And, Richard introduces us to a polar bear called Arthur.
