Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Our goal is to raise £10,000 towards the running costs of our community organisation, so that we can continue to provide opportunities to local people from all backgrounds in an inclusive space, to develop their skills both in radio and other transferrable skills too.
For many of the station’s volunteers, who range in age from 21 to 80, the station is not just a hobby but a vital lifeline, providing them with a sense of purpose, community and support; and for some it's their reason to get out of bed and keep going.
Our much-loved community radio station broadcasts from a studio, generously provided by Salford City Council, located at the rear of the Civic Centre in Swinton. It’s run by a network of more than 65 volunteers, alongside Station Manager Jill Bowyer, and relies on grants, advertising, sponsorship and fundraising in order to keep its vital programming alive and accessible to the community.
We desperately need your help just now, and if you're a local business or organisation, could you help us by providing sponsorship or advertising with us.
The closure of Salford City Radio would be a tremendous loss for our community, silencing important voices and dismantling a vital support network for so many.
