Local Radio Day 2024 is on Friday 8th November!
This year the theme is Building Bridges. Radio is a powerful medium with the ability to bring people together. It connects its listeners to local news, events and acts as a platform for community groups.
No need to sign up this year, as the team are taking a well-earned break. This means we don’t have a refreshed resource pack for you this year, but we hope you celebrate the day anyway and you are very welcome to use these assets.
