Community Action

YO1 Radio takes its role in our local community very seriously.

We know that running a radio station in our local area brings responsibility – not only to provide an entertaining backdrop for our listeners, but also to help support the community we operate in.

There are so many community groups, not-for-profit organisations and charities which do fantastic work, day in, day out across our area – and YO1 Radio is proud to support that work.

That’s why, throughout the day, seven days a week, we help to promote the activities, events and ongoing activities of the groups that strive to improve things across our communities.

It could be an appeal for volunteers, it could be details of a forthcoming event or fundraiser – or it could be just general awareness for the services provided by your organisation.

For us to cover your event, you must be a not-for-profit organisation – and whatever it is that you’re promoting must not have a commercial angle to it.

If you're promoting a commercial event (i.e where you keep all of the proceeds as profit) or what we call a 'hybrid' event, (where there is a fundraising element to your commercial activity, but you retain some proceeds as profit) please contact our sales team for advice. 

If you think we can help your organisation, then we’d love to hear from you.

Just send us an email to community@yo1radio.co.uk and we’ll take it from there. Alternatively, just fill in the form below. Remember to give us your contact details so our team can get back to you.

If you are wanting to publicise a forthcoming event on a specific date (or dates) you will need to give us as much notice as possible, as it can take a few days for us to get back to you.

Even if you have an event coming up in the next few days, we can often help by getting our on-air presenters to give it a mention – but there is a much better chance of success the more notice you can give us.
