Story
To continue to reach our local audience, Thornbury Radio needs to upgrade to being available on DAB radios. This is will make it easier for us to be heard with a stronger, digital signal - that will future-proof our service.
The catch is, we still have a final £7,500 to raise, but we face a licence deadline to raise the money by 1st September 2024 - so we are turning to you for help.
This comes as Thornbury Radio celebrates being live on FM radio for 3 years. With thousands of listeners, we are at at the centre of the local community.
A force for good - bringing together the local community and supporting and promoting so many good causes, community events, local groups, sports clubs and charities; as well as small businesses across South Gloucestershire.

Going digital is really expensive (it involves new transmitter equipment, aerial and increased running costs). You may not know, but Thornbury Radio is a not for profit community interest company - run by volunteers.
Whilst we have raised much of the cost of going digital ourselves, we now really need your help!
So if you have ever listened and enjoyed Thornbury Radio or if your local community group or charity has benefited from being supported by us - please consider making a donation.
Right now every pound helps to raise the money needed by the 1st September 2024 deadline to get us on DAB radio.
Thank you.
