02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Clyde Coast Radio is a community radio station operated exclusively by volunteers. We broadcast to Inverclyde and offer volunteer opportunities across a diverse spectrum of our community. We provide audio support at local community events and partner with the third sector to promote many good causes in the district. Many of the 3rd sector organisations we collaborate with provide support to those in need to address social, physical or mental health challenges. Broadcasting six days a week, our programs are produced and delivered by volunteers and cover a range of musical tastes and include invited guests to promote local causes and interest groups. Volunteers often come to us to fill a gap in their own personal life. This includes retirees and several young people who suffer from Aspergers and Autism. We have a number of ex-army veterans who joined as route to re-integrate to the local community.
