Thornbury Radio is a not-for-profit social enterprise.  We are constituted as a Community Interest Company which is asset-locked to prevent the Directors profiting from the proceeds of the station.   Everyone, including the Directors, are volunteers.

From the outset we've done our best to establish the station as a low cost operation - no wage bill, minimised rents etc.  However we still have costs to cover - primarily for our Ofcom licence, music royalties to PRS, PPL and MCPS, energy, software licences and equipment maintenance/renewal.

Our main revenue streams are advertising, sponsorship and grants.  In the current economic climate the grants revenue stream has become increasingly unreliable.  In parallel, as businesses struggle there is a danger they are (mistakenly) tempted to shave costs by reducing their spend on advertising and sponsorship.

For this reason we ask if there is any possibility or a donation from you, if you listen to and enjoy the station?

As well as helping us financially, your donations would mean an incredible amount to us as volunteers and will have a big positive impact on morale!
