Make a Difference

Every day your ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ radio station where you live is helping to bring communities together to make a difference closer to home.

We launched at the beginning of the Covid pandemic in March 2020, as a virtual notice board for those able to offer help and those needing support.

To date, over ten million people have got involved in Make a Difference across local and Nations ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ radio stations.

 

Gaby Roslin brings you good news stories of people making a difference.
