Falkirk Leisure Radio Launched

Posted on September 19, 2019

In line with their commitment to healthy and active lifestyles within the community, Falkirk Community Trust has launched the Falkirk Leisure Radio.

The Falkirk Leisure Radio is a bespoke broadcasting service run by the Trust, reaching out to those who used their facilities, including Bo’ness Recreation Centre, Grangemouth Sports Complex, and the Mariner Centre in Camelon.

The information broadcast will be refreshed each week, aiming to keep people in the local areas informed of their local services.

The Trust is also offering local businesses and organisations the opportunity to promote their services over the air; for third sector groups and organisations, campaigns start at £30 per week.

For further information, including how to book a campaign, please contact Peter Rothwell by phone: 01772 674399, or email: peter.rothwell@govradio.co.uk
