With the sudden disconnection COVID created for our hapori, we saw an opportunity to create a platform that would help bring people together through music and connection. The initial online station was set up in a local garage. As we moved into less restrictive levels of the pandemic, the station moved into it's present studio at 105 Brighton Mall, and acquired an fm band width, arial and receiver. We have a great volunteer base of people contributing to our shows, music collection and creative input. Our focus is to promote local content and creative communication throughout our hapori. |
Our volunteer network is made up of a diverse group of passionate locals from all ages, creating a true reflection of our diverse coastal area. We see great benefit in older and younger people forming meaningful relationships through volunteering. 'Seaside Sounds' is a fantastic way to help remove isolation barriers and promote a feeling of connection and well-being within our hapori. This aligns perfectly with New Brighton Project's purpose and vision of: "Creating Community Together". |
