“I’ve received support and training, as well as the opportunity to share my love of music and North West soul with its 27,000 listeners.”

Brian Ashman, station manager at Preston FM, said: “This is a brilliant initiative by our dedicated volunteers, who’ve formed themselves into a Friends group specially to raise funds to support the station.”
