World Radio Day 2025

For over a century, radio has been a trusted companion—educating, entertaining, and empowering communities. But did you know that radio is also a crucial tool in the fight against climate change? From remote villages to bustling cities, radio reaches millions, delivering critical information to those who need it most. Unlike digital platforms that rely on the internet, radio cuts through digital barriers, ensuring that everyone, including those in rural areas or without online access, stays informed about environmental changes and what we can do to protect our planet.

Radio is more than just a medium—it’s a call to action. Through powerful storytelling, expert discussions, and community-led initiatives, radio stations around the world are: Raising awareness about extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and the impact of deforestation. Highlighting solutions, from local sustainability efforts to innovative green technologies. Giving a voice to marginalised communities, particularly those disproportionately affected by climate change, such as small island nations, farmers, and indigenous groups.

Radio has always been a medium of change. From revolutions to rescue efforts, from education to empowerment, it remains a lifeline of communication. So then on World Radio Day 2025, let’s use the power of radio to amplify solutions, inspire action, and protect our planet for generations to come. Thank you for tuning in—let’s keep the conversation going!”

Celebrating 60 years  of  London Borough of  Bexley 2025

We had a fantastic time celebrating 60 years of the London Borough of Bexley on 16th May—an event made possible thanks to the generous support of the National Lottery Community Fund. The day brought together residents and organisations from across Bexley in a vibrant showcase of local culture, community spirit, and collaboration.                                   

We extend our heartfelt thanks to MP Daniel Francis, Councillor Anna Day, Councillor Larry Ferguson, and Rosi from Bexley Council for attending and supporting the celebration. One of the standout moments of the event was the dynamic cultural performances by members of Bexley’s South Asian community, which beautifully highlighted the borough’s rich diversity and sense of unity.                 

We were also proud to recognise the presence of several incredible local charities that are making a real difference in the community, including:

Mind in Bexley

Active Horizons

Morris Mission

Bexley Voluntary Service Council (BVSC)

And many more dedicated groups

Their contributions continue to strengthen Bexley’s social fabric and support residents through a range of vital services.
