Radio Heatherwood relies on the good will of it's volunteers to turn up week
in week out. During this time they may also be called upon to train long term
volunteers. Yearly intake of work experience trainees would put a burden on the
volunteers who are already very busy.
We operate with a very small voluntary staff and therefore cannot offer work
experience as an option, at this moment in time.
Radio Heatherwood can accept help from new potential volunteers or you can
help every time you shop by using our on-line shop which allows you to make
purchases from all the major retailers and a percentage is sent to us for
referring new customers.
