Purpose

We serve as a voice for community groups to be promoted throughout the area through our 24 hours a day broadcast and radio based training to create technical skills on radio equipment, develop their IT skills and build confidence

Why our community needs our service

As the only full time radio station we are in a position to highlight positive activities that take place in Calderdale and support communities by offering roadshows to assist groups activities. We can also create audio presentations and podcasts

Results and outcomes
