Our Team

Radio Redhill comprises of a team of +/- 70 volunteers of whom around half are active members.  Together we run the Radio Redhill broadcasting service which plays 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  There is more information available on the history of the station on our History page.

Many of us are involved in the actual presentation of the programmes and if you wish to, you can read more about the individual presenters.  However, many volunteers fulfill other essential roles such as visiting the wards to collect requests etc.  There is more information on how to join us on this page.

The contribution Radio Redhill and its members make to the life of the local community has been recognised by the number of community awards won by Radio Redhill members in recent years. Here are some of our winners over the last few years in the Reigate & Banstead Community Awards:
