About Angel Radio

"ANGEL RADIO IS AN ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC UNIQUE PROJECT

WHICH FILLS A GAP CREATED BY THE MEDIA WHO SEEM TO THINK OLDER PEOPLE ARE INVISIBLE AND MUSIC STARTED WITH THE BEATLES"

The idea is very basic -

+ Accentuate the positive aspects of being an older person.
+ Provide a radio station for older people to run themselves.
+ Make the station unique by specialising in records made before 1960.

The Angel Radio team numbers 92 volunteers.

Several are in their 80s, most are over 60.
Most have never worked in radio before.
Most are fit and active.
Some have disabilities, including blind, deaf, arthritic,
Parkinson's and stroke victims.
All do as much as they feel comfortable with.

We are a not-for-profit group, which operates on a very small, very tight budget.

We have received small funding grants from local councils, the National Lottery, Age Concern and local businesses.
