Vectis Radio, the Island’s community radio station, is calling for volunteers to help behind the scenes.

Station Manager Ian Mac said, “People think that Vectis Radio is all about being a presenter and talking into a microphone, and that thought puts many people off the idea of joining us. However, people can be a valuable part of Vectis Radio without even talking into a microphone.”

The station is looking for enthusiastic, community-minded people to help behind the scenes. Whether it’s filling in funding forms, selling raffle tickets at our events, helping with marketing and promoting airtime, supporting our website and social media pages, or getting involved with fundraising efforts, there are so many ways you could make a real difference. Vectis Radio is your community station, and we rely on local support to keep doing what we do.

Vectis Radio Director Kelvin Currie added, “Don’t be put off if radio isn’t your thing. You don’t have to talk into a microphone to be able to help us — there are many, many other ways to assist. Maybe you could put those creative skills to use writing commercial scripts, our next pamphlet, or a funding application. For many of these roles, you probably don’t even need to come to our studio.”

If you’ve got the time, skills, or just the passion to help, Vectis Radio would love to hear from you. You’ll be pleasantly surprised just how much you can do without putting yourself behind a microphone.
