Sue Cook is one of the UK's most well-loved broadcasters. She is recognisable from BBC shows including Crimewatch UK, the annual Children in Need appeal and Holiday.
She has also been a voice on our radios over many decades, appearing on programmes including You and Yours and, more recently, Making History for Radio 4.
She is also a novelist and is currently adapting her novel, On Dangerous Ground, for a film.
Sue has been one of our Patrons for 20 years.
I’ve found it thrilling to listen to the radio since I was a very little girl. When I found myself with a job as a broadcaster I could hardly believe how lucky I was to have such a wonderful, privileged job. It’s also such an intimate medium. This is why radio is absolutely essential to blind people, offering that direct, one-to-one contact – a vital channel of information and entertainment. I think BWBF is absolutely marvellous and I’m thrilled to be involved.
