Reform Radio

We're a multi-award winning online radio station and arts organisation working with local creatives, DJs and young people to develop and showcase new work via our online platforms. This large active community works together to create all the content on Reform Radio, supported by regular outside broadcasts within the city, as well as specially recorded shows from artists across the globe. Our main focus is to use our platform to engage young people looking for new opportunities, working creatively with them over a sustained period to develop new skills for employment. In 20/21 we delivered 906 creative sessions and hundreds of pastoral sessions supporting 312 young adults, 80% of whom progressed into employment, education or volunteering. We worked with 194 individual freelancers, creating 445 freelance opportunities and injecting £217,113.39 into the creative economy. We've been repeatedly recognised by MixCloud as one of the top five radio stations in Europe at their Online Radio Awards and are a proud Manchester City Council Cultural partner, using our platform to showcase the city on a global scale. We're also a British Podcast Award winning production company, developing industry audio as well as branded multimedia content and events for clients and partners.
