Care Radio
Care Radio is a dedicated 24/7 nationwide radio station using a mix of popular music, listener voices, experts, advocates and relatable presenters to deliver a positive message of support, comfort and companionship as well as light relief for care workers and their families.
It aims to support the emotional well-being of care workers by signposting the support available; sharing problems and concerns; lifting spirits with stories and celebrating achievements; and creating a feeling of not ‘being in it alone’.
The Local Media Network (LMN) work with the team at Care Radio to deliver their radio transmission, content, website and care news provision. Here are a few of their recent news stories:
