Pop up Radio

POP-UP RADIO ACROSS RUTLAND AND STAMFORD THIS SUMMER

We are out and about this summer staging a series of pop-up radio events on weekday mornings. We have already taken pop-up radio to a wide range of locations, including Caldecott, Empingham, South Luffenham, Stretton and Baston, as well as visiting Birch Tree cafe in Easton on the Hill, the Mindspace Garden in Stamford, and joining with Citizens Advice Rutland in Oakham as part of National Volunteers' Week.

The next venue will be Uppingham Market Place on Friday 19 July, from 10am until 12 noon. 

Please come along and say hello to Rob and the team. Pop-up radio will continue until the end of July and we still have one or two free dates. If you would like to host a pop-up radio event in your community, however large or small, please get in touch.

Station Manager, Rob Persani, explained the thinking behind the new initiative:

“Being at the heart of the local community is what we are all about. While many people will be used to seeing us at events across the local area, this summer’s pop-up radio is an opportunity for us to take community radio to new places, including some of the more isolated villages in the local region. As well as using the pop-up radio events to help people learn about their community radio station, we will also be teaming up with local organisations who have important messages to share on services available to help with matters such as mental wellbeing and cost of living pressures. This is a new venture for us, and we are grateful to the National Grid Electricity Transmission’s Community Grant Programme for their financial support in helping to make it happen.”
