Over the span of 17 years, Liverpool Community Radio has brought over £1m to its local community of Kensington.
Since 2007, all profits made from the radio station have been given back into the area. It has developed six out of seven shop units, a community café, a bike recycling project and a community bakery- providing new business opportunities and jobs for the local residents.
Dave Faragher, 69, organiser of the community radio explained how he discovered the total sum of the funds raised.
