Who we are

Based in Crewe, Redshift radio serves the South Cheshire area (Crewe and Nantwich) nd around 20% of their programmes on the radio station are made by young people. Redshift Radio is very proud to have trained over 150 young people, 25 of those having gone on to complete work experience placements with the radio station. All of the young people’s shows are unique in their own way, and the young people are given a great deal of creative freedom in producing their shows. Whilst the focus is on radio they see many of the young people, increase in confidence and self-esteem as their involvement progresses. Redshift Radio can offer workshops in radio skills, and producing radio shows. This could include interview skills, audio editing, presenting techniques and much more. Many of the teachers that the organisation has worked with, have commented on the additional value that a “real” radio station can offer. The added motivation for the young people knowing that their work will be broadcast on a live radio station increases the motivation and engagement with the project, ultimately producing better outcomes. Redshift Radio also runs an enterprise scheme teaching young people basic business skills. Previous projects have included giving young people a small sum of money and asking them to develop a business model to increase it, developing their skills around financial literacy. Redshift Radio has had a high level of community engagement and can bring together schools, businesses and community groups with a common goal.
