Salford City Radio is a not for profit organisation, and is a community radio with over 100 local volunteers. We have been broadcasting for over eleven years. Our main focus is our community, and community is at the heart of everything we do. We received funding for many years from the local council but in 2016 funding ended due to financial constraints on the council and since then we have relied on advertising, grants, generous donations, membership fees, and fundraising. We continue to seek sponsorship and funding to keep this valuable resource for the Salford community open.
Salford City Radio is a multi award winning local radio station, and was awarded the Queens Award for volunteering in 2016. This is the highest award a voluntary orgainsation can be awarded and is the equivolent of an MBE. Many of our volunteers have volunteered in excess of 1000 hours, some very much in excess of that. Some have been with us since the beginning, but we have a regular stream of new volunteers too.
Volunteers come from all backgrounds and become volunteers for many different reasons. Many volunteers come because they have a special interest in music and want to present a show, and it is possible to have that opportunity through community radio. Others come because they are interested in a new hobby or just want to simply be useful. Many of our volunteers come to us after illness, injury or disabilty, unemployment or bereavement. Some come to reduce social isolation, or for a few hours distraction and relief from difficult home circumstances. Others including students come to gain work experience, and to build a good CV to improve their chances of gaining future employment.
We have a very wide range of programmes which include all the usual shows you would expect on any radio station, ranging from specialist music shows, sports shows, new music, information shows and shows with guest interviews. We regularly have members of our local community in to promote their own projects, CDs, and productions and the good work being done by charities and local organisations. We keep Salford up to date with whats going on in and around the local area and beyond, and we have hourly news, weather, adverts and traffic updates too, and much more.
