Chiltern Voice Zweryfikowana stacja

Chiltern Voice Radio is a non-profit volunteer run media platform made by the community , for the community. It was launched in 2016 as local pop-up community radio station which was set up to cover the South Chiltern towns and villages of Chesham, Amersham, Great Missenden and the Chalfonts. We had a temporary home and broadcast online for 1 week and then during the February half term we broadcast live from the studio on FM frequency. It was a successful live week with over 60 volunteers, 1000 listeners listening online and many more on FM, and over 60 local community groups (young and old) involved, promoting their organisations and news. Mixed with live The online stream is still broadcasting, and we have now been offered a permanent home at a local community centre, to house equipment and create a permanent studio and production area. We need funds to purchase the equipment and pay rent for the space and broadcasting licences and performing rights . We will be able to get some revenue from advertising local businesses, but it’s not enough to keep us sustainable for the long term. Our project benefits a wide variety of social groups including youngsters from local schools & colleges, retired volunteers looking for hobbies & interests out of the ordinary groups, but also the socially deprived with a number of our volunteers coming through from deprived areas, and some with learning difficulties who have benefitted from a different learning experience.
