We are a group of passionate radio presenters and educational professionals, many of whom have experience working in Therapeutic and Alternative Education settings. United by a shared mission, we aim to inspire and educate young people by offering meaningful opportunities to explore all aspects of media. Our team brings a wealth of experience in supporting children and young people with diverse needs, particularly those who may face barriers in traditional educational environments.
Through radio, we create a safe and supportive space where young people can develop their voice, learn practical skills in presenting, production, and storytelling, and build confidence, communication, and resilience. Our work blends creativity with care, recognising the therapeutic value of self-expression and the power of being heard.
Our mission is to educate, inform, and provide hands-on experience in media to individuals of all ages, regardless of background or experience. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to develop their voice, build confidence, and gain valuable skills in broadcasting, production, and media communication. By creating an inclusive and supportive environment, we empower people to explore their creativity, share their stories, and connect with a wider audience through the power of radio.
