Help Wellington Access Radio remove barriers & give our Wellington communities a voice!

Wellington

Wellington Access Radio is the station that is BY, FOR and ABOUT our communities.

We exist to remove barriers to broadcasting and to make sure that everyone in our community gets a voice.

We have over 200 programme-makers, making over 80 programmes, in over 20 different languages. And we need your help!

A lot of communities that make programmes with us use CDs to create their shows. They often play music from their own communities that can't be found online, and some of these programme-makers don' t use computers at all.

But our CD player has broken and can't be fixed!

We're looking to buy at least ONE new CD player designed for studio use (ideally, we'd love a second one for back-up).

While many of our programme-makers do use digital technology, we want to make sure we continue to cater to those who don't.

Many of them have been making radio with us for years, and we don't want them to lose their voice.

Please donate to our campaign and help these communities keep broadcasting!

About us

Wellington Access Radio is the station that’s by, for and about our community. We’re a non-profit, grassroots charity which provides a platform of representation for groups not usually heard in mainstream media, alongside arts, music, and local culture.

Use of funds

We are aiming to buy one new CD player designed for studio use. If we raise enough, we will purchase a second CD player as back-up.
