Cambridge 105 Radio has worked hard since commencing broadcasting to build strong links with local community groups and charities. Every week we receive several requests to support local charities’ events, or simply to help raise awareness.
Cambridge 105 Radio is proud to support local organisations which serve the needs of our listeners, and to be an active & positive force in our area.
At the same time, it is important to highlight that we are a Community Radio station, manned largely by unpaid volunteers (Only our Station Manager, Sales Manager and Outreach & Corporate Development Manager receive any form of payment). As such we rely on advertising, sponsorship & donations to survive.
There are also limitations as to how much advertising we can run each hour, so it is important that we get the balance right between commercial & charity airtime.
