Station Adoption 2010
a guide for the local community

This handbook will be of interest to a wide range of community groups and individuals. More and more local stations are being adopted by their communities. These are usually the smaller unstaffed stations which have lacked 'tender loving care'. Station adoption is a way of turning stations round and bringing them back into the heart of the communities they serve.
