A local charity, run completely by volunteers, Dorset Coast Radio put the community at the heart of their station. They offer opportunities to share local messages and information on all their shows and provide more dedicated exposure on the Community Connect show. Over 100 local organisations have been featured already.

They help local groups launch campaigns, raise funds, and promote events through community-focused programme features and a free what’s on guide. The Community Connect show offers short, friendly interviews tailored to your organisation, helping you share updates, appeals, and opportunities with listeners across Poole, the Purbecks and beyond.

Dorset Coast Radio are also happy to act as a media partner for funding bids, helping you demonstrate reach, engagement, and promotional capacity. You can also add your Local Events.

Liz from the station said, ‘We’ve been so grateful to Community Action Network for their support since we launched, as they have not only featured on our Community Connect show but have been actively signposting people to the station. They have been really positive about our ambitions to support our community and have helped with sharing their knowledge and experience, as well as signposting us to helpful partners and funders.’
