Hope Radio is not-for-profit that provides FM radio programs for the over 50s who do not have or do not desire to have access to the internet,to share experiences, to send messages to friends and family , to show their support for essential workers, to feel that they are not alone.
Having access to the internet at the moment is great, but what if you don’t?
What if you’re 70yrs old and the only person you see is the postman No social media to keep you company no Zoom for you no mobile phone just the free view telly and the radio.
Lunch club has been cancelled and you can’t visit your mates as their care home is in lock down.
Here in South Birmingham, City of a thousand ideas we have a cunning plan, we are taking it old school baby.
With just an FM radio our audience has the technology to get the latest advice, to get involved in local projects, to know how and where and when to get help, to request songs for their mates and family, to say happy birthday, to say thank you or hello or goodbye, to feel involved, to be part of life, to feel hope.
With lock-down restrictions lowering Are you happy to go out on the 4th July?
