Our Broadcasting Philosophy
Radio Faza’s philosophy is to celebrate the cultural diversity of our area; create substantial positive change for local people and develop our station into a vibrant and sustainable social enterprise. We aim to entertain, include, engage and inform our listeners.Radio Faza aims to create social cohesion and harmony within the ethnic minority community and to give local people an opportunity to express their views because their ‘voice’ is often overlooked due to other social issues that impact them and their lives, for example, low incomes, poor educational achievement and employment skills, and higher levels of crime and anti-social behaviour in our local neighbourhoods.Radio Faza works with statutory authorities and broadcasts public service information, for example, anti-hate crime and mental health support information, because we aim to enhance the lives of our listeners and reduce their isolation and exclusion in the wider community.
