Glastonbury | Community Support & Development
GFM is there to provide a voice for local people and organisations. From budding young DJs or musicians to local pensioners, GFM offers free training, support and guidance with the aim of developing skills, self confidence and valuable work experience. GFM helps connect people to their local community through the programmes and features produced, increasing awareness of what's going on in the area and how to access it- all achieved by local people.
Why the community needs usThere is no other radio service that reflects the vibrancy and diversity of this area and is accessible to local people from all parts of the community and of all ages. We provide valuable volunteering opportunities which make a difference to the community and experience for those who are thinking of a career in the media. We provide the oxygen of publicty needed by so many voluntary organisations who do so much for our communities and have few resources to get their message across.
