Carillon Radio

Carillon Radio, based in Loughborough Hospital, UK, is a unique online and live radio station with a commitment to entertain and work with the local community. The station is staffed, operated, and supported entirely by volunteers who are passionate about radio and community service. The volunteers range from thirteen to ninety years old, reinforcing the station's dedication to equal opportunities and social inclusion​.

Carillon Radio operates in four main categories: presentation, administration, fundraising, and engineering. The presentation team is responsible for hosting shows and creating engaging content for listeners. Administration handles day-to-day tasks, such as producing a quarterly magazine and maintaining the station's website. Fundraising, or as the station prefers, 'fun' raising, is a crucial aspect that keeps the station afloat. Lastly, the engineering team ensures the station stays on air by maintaining high technical standards​​.

Carillon Radio is also known for its mobile studio, which can be used for broadcasts from anywhere within the UK. This feature brings both atmosphere and interest to their listening audience, and it often becomes the focal point of their fundraising activities​​.
