Get Involved

Get involved

Volunteer with us on-air or behind the scenes.
Our focus is on Derby & Derbyshire; we want volunteers with positive enthusiasm, commitment, willingness to learn, and who share our values around community, equality & diversity, respect, reliability, good team spirit 
and the power of radio to make a difference, plus it's good fun!

We want to diversify the airwaves and break down barriers to participation for under represented and misrepresented groups so let us know if you need some support to get involved - we are here to help.

Host your own special Takeover show! We offer local community groups, such as artist collectives, schools, youth groups, diverse community groups, media students and charities the chance to take over the airwaves - with our help you can get on the airwaves to showcase the music, local events and causes you love!

Dream of being on radio? We provide free training and coaching so even if you have never done radio before we'll help you learn everything you need to know; whether you are a radio enthusiast, media student, retired, keen for a hobby, seeking somewhere to gain skills and build confidence or hungry to learn something new - join our friendly team!

Experienced radio presenter? Send us a demo show to get started - remember we are looking to add variety to our existing schedule, to celebrate Derby's diversity, build community spirit (no divisive 'shock jocks' for us!) and to offer local content relevant to Derby so have a listen to the station to get a feel for our format and then send us your ideas!

Want to give back to your local community? We need help with all sorts of interesting tasks behind the scenes too - like production, technical support, sourcing music and broadcast kit, marketing & social media, web design, fundraising, roadshow and outreach events, volunteer support and committee roles - whatever your skills your offer of help will be gratefully received!

Contact us about any of these opportunities and we'll be in touch asap - we get lots of enquiries and we are run by volunteers so please bear with us we'll get back to you as soon as we can!
