02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Heartsong Live was set up to bridge the gap between faith, culture, and community by using radio and media as a tool for inspiration, education, and empowerment. We provide a mix of contemporary praise, worship, talk programmes, cultural storytelling, and inspirational content that uplifts listeners in Scotland and beyond. Alongside broadcasting, we equip young people, women, and creatives with media skills through our academy, helping them build confidence, employability, and a stronger voice. We also host events and workshops that celebrate cultural heritage, promote dialogue, and support underrepresented voices. Our aim is to grow as a dynamic hub where creativity, faith, and community meet, amplifying hope and enhancing lives.
