02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Heartsong Live exists to advance the Christian faith, arts and culture, while using radio and creative opportunities to equip people with skills, amplify community voices and bring people together across Scotland and beyond. Through inspirational broadcasting, music and interviews, we give local artists, businesses and community groups a platform to share their stories and reach wider audiences. Our Media Makers programme gives children and young adults practical broadcasting experience, helping them develop confidence, communication, teamwork and creative skills. Volunteers also gain experience in radio production and community activities. We organise multicultural events, women’s programmes, creative workshops and family performances that encourage participation, cultural exchange and community connections. Our radio platform extends the reach of these activities, sharing local stories and opportunities. Guided by Christian values, our community programmes welcome everyone.
