📣Last night saw us deliver the last training session of the 6 Towns Radio project.

And we're over the moon with the uptake and response and engagement.

After three weeks delivering this inital introduction course we have a team of eight volunteer community journalists from across

Over the past three weeks we've looked at Mis/Dis and Mal-information information, had introduction to filming and last night was all about interviewing techniques and audio recording.

The next steps - the Community Voices team will be telling stories from their community while we continue to provide development, support and the platform to tell these stories via the 6TR Weekly Community Voices radio show and online.

Community Voices is fundedby Community Foundation for Staffordshire and with the mission of building through storytelling.

Thanks to Reels in Motion for the space.
