Vanny Radio is a Coventry-based community broadcaster. We broadcast primarily through volunteers from Coventry and surrounding towns. We currently have over 30 volunteers broadcasting and engaging in other activities each week. Our volunteers, who are mostly trained at the station, provide a platform and a voice for the local community. Vanny Radio also provides apprenticeship schemes for youth and the unemployed. There are a variety of programs run by Vanny Radio targeted at community improvement and integration. Vanny Radio has had a growing listenership of the youth within Coventry and surrounding areas. Our radio broadcasts have slots for all ages. We have specially designed programs for children between the ages of 6 through to the youth. We also have special events for university students where issues affecting students are discussed amongst others. We are a Community Interest Company, almost entirely volunteer led and managed by a Board of Directors who are also volunteers. We have a small staff team who take care of the day-to-day operations and manage our community and media projects.
