Empowering diverse under-represented voices and communities through inclusive media platforms, creative opportunity, and culturally driven storytelling.
Jambo! Radio exists to give a voice to people who are often unheard and to help them build skills and careers in media and the creative industries. We do this by running a 24/7 multilingual digital radio station, producing podcasts and cultural content, and delivering hands-on training in broadcasting, journalism, and digital production. We support Black and racially minoritised communities, refugees, asylum seekers, New Scots, young people, and grassroots creatives to tell their stories, gain confidence, and develop practical skills. Through community projects, live events, and partnerships, we create real pathways into education, employment, and entrepreneurship while promoting wellbeing, inclusion, and community connection.
Our vision is a Scotland where everyone feels seen, heard, and represented in media and the creative industries.
We aim to grow as a leading community-led digital broadcaster and creative hub, rooted in Glasgow and connected globally.
Through Jambo! Studios, training, and partnerships, we will build a sustainable platform that nurtures diverse talent, preserves cultural heritage, and creates new opportunities.
Our goal is to shape a more inclusive creative economy where communities can share their stories, access opportunities, and thrive.
Unlike mainstream broadcasters, our content and information are made available for speakers of other languages of African and Caribbean heritage, in the languages that they best understand.
We discuss issues that directly affect people in the community and provide clear updates on current events and topics in multiple languages.
We serve as a channel for people of African and Caribbean heritage in Scotland to encourage visibility, economic development, equality and social justice.
We broadcast in Swahili, Pidgin, Igbo, Yoruba, French and Lingala — to learn more about our African and Caribbean radio station, follow Jambo Radio on social media.
We also use advanced and innovative broadcast production processes and techniques to offer digital and employability skills to people in the communities.
