    • Administration
    • Financial management and reporting
    • Community outreach
    • Volunteer organisation and support

    Grants can only be made to Ofcom-licensed community radio stations in the UK, broadcasting on AM, FM, or via a Community Digital Sound Programme licence on a digital radio multiplex.
