How We Help Businesses What's On Guide
HERE’S TO A HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY MP for Crewe and Nantwich, it gives me great A spleasure to write this 1st Birthday message to the listeners, supporters and followers of RedShift Radio. I have appeared on RedShift Radio several times and on a variety of shows including Polish Insight and Community Round-Up. Dr Gav and Bizzy Lizzy have developed a strong and diverse team around them and are popular and pro-active members of our community. RedShift Radio really does live up to its motto of “Bringing Communities Together” and we as a community should support their efforts to bring a full-time FM community station to this area. If you have not yet tuned in to one of the 45 different shows online then I urge you to do so. I wish Dr Gav, Bizzy Lizzy and the whole of the RedShift Radio team a very happy 1st Birthday and best of luck when they come to apply for a full-time FM licence in 2013. Edward Timspon, MP for Crewe & Nantwich

How does all this information get publicised? Through community organisations and local news media. At the heart of Crewe's community its RedShift Radio “Bringing Communities Together” its does exactly what it says on the tin! With its online radio shows covering numerous topics and live interviews along with the promotion of businesses, community groups and charities with their RedShift Hub events, its a shot in the arm for the town of Crewe which needs a local radio station. I wish RedShift Radio a happy first birthday and wish them good luck in obtaining an FM licence so we can listen at our convenience in the future. Lets hope Crewe Town can be a part of its success and mirror a community to be proud of! Roy Cartlidge, Mayor of Crewe

DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT..! TANYA TUCKER-ARNOLD (MALBANK SCHOOL) RedShift has been inspirational for our students.

Most importantly our involvement with RedShift has reinforced a sense of community and has helped forge links between youth and a wide range of community groups.
