 London
Link Radio (2005 - currently)
I am a co-founder and director of the online
broadcasting charity, London Link
Radio. It broadcasts online in
short series and on demand. Its aims are to broadcast high
quality radio programmes, showcase radio work from
students, young people and community groups and provide an
opportunity for individuals to develop their radio production skills. We
are currently piloting a Community Reporters scheme, assisting
recent trainees to report on events in the community.

Learning Partnership - Training Women in Media
(2007 - currently)
For Women's Radio, I am project managing input to this transnational
learning partnership, which is funded under the Grundtvig
programme.
- PEARLS Radio
Training Course
(2007 - currently)
I manage the ICT component, the project website and the on-demand audio for this ESF-funded
course at Desi Radio in Southall.
- Refugee
Week Radio (annually
since 2006)
I set up and project managed Refugee
Week Radio, an online community radio broadcast project to accompany Refugee Week (June 2006 and
June 2007). The partners in the project were London Link Radio (see below), the
training and networking charity Women's
Radio Group, Desi
Radio and, in 2007, OpenAir
Radio at SOAS, University of London. We are currently
planning Refugee Week Radio 2008.
- Children
and Radio (2004 - currently)
I was the co-founder of this not-for-profit organisation which aims to
promote radio by and for children and young people in the UK. In
September 2005 we published a research report on Children
Making Radio 2004/5, which I researched and wrote. I
maintain the organisation's
website, which provides information and resources for anyone
making radio with children and young people.

 Desi
Radio Eco Teams (2006)
Working as a member of a partnership between Women's
Radio Group, Global Action Plan
and Desi Radio in
Southall, I set up an environment group (Eco Team) to pilot the use of
community radio in encouraging people to live more environmentally
sustainably in their homes. This project was funded by an
Environment Award from BAA Heathrow/Groundwork Thames Valley.
- Camden
Community Radio (2004)
I worked with this new online community radio station based in the Somers Town
area of North London. I provided training, editorial support and
project management for their first live internet
broadcast in July 2004.
