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.

Community-Led. Community-Focused.
