Radio Northumberland is a volunteer led station based in New Hartley. They rely on sponsorship and support from the community.
Here we find out why people are keen to help them.
Ross Johnson At Travlux said: “It’s important to connect with people. We’re not mass market, so getting to know people is a huge part of what has made us successful when it comes to planning their holidays far and wide across the world. Through a strong connection to the cruise industry, and again – a personal connection to one of the station’s much-loved hosts, Tony Markey- we jumped at the chance to sponsor and support Radio Northumberland, providing us the opportunity to connect with their listeners who already have an interest in travel. Along with our other marketing avenues – events and exhibitions, social media, the press and of course word of mouth, radio provides another ‘destination’ for us share our passion for travel and inspire others to plan their next adventure, with the help of our travel experts.
Jonny Hall, Head of marketing at Mowden Hall School said: “One of our key character values is Community. Radio Northumberland plays an important role in bringing local people together, sharing stories and celebrating life in the county. We are delighted to support a station which highlights to our pupils the value of giving back, community involvement and social responsibility beyond the classroom.”
Angela Tuplin of NE Display said: “I’m a big fan of community radio and the vital role it plays within our communities. While talking with Keith about Radio Northumberland’s exciting move to their new home, I went along to see how it was all coming together. Seeing the studio take shape, hearing about the presenters, and understanding the difference their voices were making, I wanted to support them, so I offered to brand their desk space. I also spotted an opportunity to repurpose the main studio door and offered to design and install a graphic to help the studio really stand out. Community radio, local voices and connecting people matter deeply, and I was proud to be able to support them.”
Dave Reaveley, owner of the New Hartley Club, is proud to support Radio Northumberland by providing free space for its studio because he believes strongly in the power of local voices and community connection. Community radio plays a vital role in bringing people together, sharing local news, promoting events, and giving residents a platform to be heard. By offering space within the club, Dave hopes to help strengthen community spirit in New Hartley and across Northumberland, ensuring that a much-valued local service can continue to grow and serve the people it represents.
Radio Northumberland is also grateful for support from Dulux, Northumberland Freemasons and Deal Direct Blinds.
