Who We Are

A Community-Led Charity

Jambo! Radio Scotland exists to advance opportunity, participation and representation through community broadcasting, education, training and creative activity.

Our radio station is more than a broadcasting platform. It provides a practical community space where people can develop skills, gain experience, volunteer, share their stories and participate in conversations that affect their communities.

Through radio, podcasts, video, digital media, training, events and community projects, we help people develop confidence, communication and creative skills while increasing the visibility of voices that remain under-represented in mainstream media and towards a more representative cultural life in Scotland, and inspires our vision of a Scotland committed to anti-racism.

Our Mission

Amplifying Voices. Developing Skills. Creating Opportunities.

Our mission is to empower communities through inclusive broadcasting, education, creative skills development and meaningful participation.

We work to:

  • Amplify under-represented community voices.
  • Provide accessible broadcasting and digital media training.
  • Create volunteering and work-experience opportunities.
  • Support young people to develop skills, confidence and aspirations.
  • Improve access to trusted community information.
  • Promote cultural understanding and community participation.
  • Create pathways towards further education, training and employment.
  • Provide a platform where communities can tell their own stories.
  • Provide a space that is guided by people who bring authenticity, expertise and experience. We aim to collaborate with the public, historians, the heritage sector and activists to allow for curiosity and reflection.

Jambo! Radio Partners with Coop for Essential Needs

February 12, 2023 by Jambo! Radio Scotland

Yesterday marked an important day for Jambo! Radio as Fiona and Serge from Cooperative Stores, popularly known as Coop, paid a visit to discuss collaborative efforts in supporting communities. Both organisations share a common vision of empowering and assisting those in need, and this meeting presented an opportunity to explore ways to work together for a greater impact.

Taking responsibility for supporting individuals and communities in need has always been at the core of Jambo! Radio’s mission. Their commitment to helping those who require assistance aligns perfectly with Coop’s efforts to support communities across the UK.

In today’s challenging times, the rising costs of living have put a strain on households, with incomes failing to keep up with the escalating expenses. It is during these trying moments that community support becomes even more crucial. Coop’s initiatives to assist communities and groups with essential needs, particularly food supplies, have been commendable as they strive to alleviate the burden faced by many.

The collaboration between Jambo! Radio and Coop aims to make a meaningful difference in the lives of families and individuals struggling to make ends meet. By pooling their resources and expertise, both organisations intend to reach out to more people and provide vital support where it is needed the most.

Jambo! Radio encourages individuals and families in need to reach out to them for assistance. They are dedicated to supporting communities by providing essential food items and other necessities, easing the pressure caused by rising supermarket prices. A simple direct message to Jambo! Radio can be the first step in receiving the help and support required during these challenging times.
