Welcome to the on-line home of Castle Vale Community Radio. Whilst we make plans to launch a bigger site in the future, we hope this mini-site will help you understand a bit more about our work.

About Us

Castle Vale Community Radio is a charitable organisation based in Birmingham that uses radio and publishing to entertain, inform, engage and involve the local community. Our mission is to break down barriers to communication and to offer local people a chance to do something practical about unemployment, skills training, education and social isolation.

Our services include:

• Community radio broadcasts
• Radio training courses
• Education projects
• The publication of Vale Mail, a community newspaper
• News copywriting training for community organisations

We operate under two trading names: Switch Radio and Vale Mail. Use the menu at the top to find out more about each service.
