“We’ve strengthened our working relationships with local businesses and organisations and this new community space is hoped to eventually include truly accessible broadcasting facilities, encompassing a wheelchair friendly studio alongside a mixed used space for community engagement and events.

“Its hope we can make more people aware of our award winning station, but also invite more individuals and groups to be part of it with further volunteering opportunities”

Alan Stevenson, Volunteer Scotland’s chief executive, said: “Volunteers improve our society through countless contributions each year.

“As we emerge from the pandemic and return, we should still be mindful of those who’ve been unable to volunteer, or volunteer as regularly, and be especially mindful of those who may still be anxious about resuming.”
