Iʼve raised £0 to Help fund a community radio station start up in Derby. There is no other dedicated station and it's already proving to be very popular!

Story
A few months ago I started a hobby radio station up, initially for internet broadcast only. However, it very quickly became more and more popular with local communities and it continues to grow. It's helping local groups to connect, giving local information and not forgetting keeping people company.
We'll eventually apply for an FM community licence, but at the moment this project has started to cost more and more to run each month.
Something we do not want to do is have lots of expensive advertising, although there are some small donations coming in for sponsorship, (which of course helps), it's not enough to keep everything going for any amount of time.
It is something that the community needs and evidently wants and it's time to start looking for funding to enable us to broadcast Sky Radio News, pay for computer systems and their upkeep as well as general day to day running of the station.
Our target of £500 will allow us to run for many months to come, where by which time, we'll have started to become self sustainable.
Thank you so, so much in advance!
