Training opportunities – write, edit, present 

The Shine Radio team is broadly based, and there are opportunities to develop skills in writing, editing and presenting. So whether you want to be in front of or behind the mic, you can find a satisfying volunteering experience at Shine Radio.

Our local news service is a key element of the Shine Radio output, both now and on track to our DAB licence. There are presenter led shows, and features, too.

Winning Digital Station of the Year at the Community Radio Awards, 2022 was a great accolade. As we head towards a DAB licence as the next stage, a strong core news team and variety of programming is central to our success before a wider audience. 

You can contribute from home with a laptop and telephone, but there are also opportunities to get out and interview people in the news. And if you’re nervous about being on air there are vital non-speaking roles too!

Just a few hours of your time once or twice a week could make a big difference to what we can do together. With daily bulletins to produce, it’s based around some routine too so you can have predictability with your time.

Why not join us for an introduction and meet the team on March 18th at Churchers College? 

Local photographer Tina Knowles will be present to take promo shots of all volunteers for the project, so please come prepared to be photographed!
