This is the final push. After so much help and support from our listeners we are almost there with the final £3,000 needed by the 27th September.

Thank you if you have already donated or supported our Listeners’ Quiz Night or other activities, such as our Listeners’ Raffle. Its enabled us to start work on goung digital.

To incentivise us in our final push - mid morning presenter Simon Criddle has agreed to have his left leg waxed on air if we reach £2,500. Get to £2,750 and its also his right leg. Help us reach £3,000 and it‘s his chest too! Let’s see how smooth your donations can make Simon!

This is all because we need your help to raise the money needed for us to continue to reach our local audience, Thornbury Radio needs to upgrade to being available on DAB radios. This is will make it easier for us to be heard with a stronger, digital signal - that will future-proof our service.

This comes as Thornbury Radio celebrates being live on FM radio for 3 years. With thousands of listeners, we are at at the centre of the local community.

A force for good - bringing together the local community and supporting and promoting so many good causes, community events, local groups, sports clubs and charities; as well as small businesses across South Gloucestershire.

Going digital is really expensive (it involves new transmitter equipment, aerial and increased running costs). You may not know, but Thornbury Radio is a not for profit community interest company - run by volunteers.

Whilst we have raised much of the cost of going digital ourselves, we now really need your help!

So if you have ever listened and enjoyed Thornbury Radio or if your local community group or charity has benefited from being supported by us - please consider making a donation.

Right now every pound helps to raise the money needed by September 2024 deadline to get us on DAB radio.

Thank you.

John Baden-Daintree, Thornbury Radio.
