COMMUNITY WAVES

Community Waves is an exciting collaboration with Manchester-based Radio Diamond. This volunteer-run station is a vital part of Moss Side’s community, allowing young people to develop broadcasting and sound recording skills. The station provides a platform to boost self-esteem amongst those from disadvantaged backgrounds, with educational needs, and with health issues. Our project aims to increase awareness of the station’s positive impact and to raise money to pay for their annual DAB licence, thus increasing their listeners and sponsors. Our action weeks will include a variety of tasks, such as using our design skills to create visual marketing content, including merch, poster design and video content. Students will have creative freedom while developing their design skills, using Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. We will also take part in exciting fundraising events to share our content and interact with the wider community. This project will be a great opportunity to promote and elevate Radio Diamond, allowing them to continue being a positive light within the Moss Side community.
