Company activities and impact

During the financial year ending 31 March 2025, Gaydio Community Interest Company continued to operate as the UK’s only national LGBTQ+ radio station, operating on a not-for-profit basis. Gaydio delivered LGBTQ+ focused radio content via its Manchester community FM licence and DAB digital radio services in 13 UK cities, including Greater Manchester, alongside national online streaming. This provided year-round representation and culturally relevant content for LGBTQ+ audiences, many of whom experience isolation or underrepresentation in mainstream media. The company also delivered entirely free training through the Gaydio Academy, providing radio, podcasting and media skills to participants across the UK. These programmes supported confidence building, wellbeing, skills development and progression into volunteering, education or employment. Gaydio continued to deliver major community activity, including the Gaydio Pride Awards, one of the largest LGBTQ+ awards events outside London, celebrating achievement and contribution across the LGBTQ+ community.

Consultation with stakeholders

Gaydio engages regularly with stakeholders to inform its activities. LGBTQ+ community organisations and partners are consulted through ongoing partnerships and delivery meetings, shaping outreach and accessibility. Audiences provide feedback through surveys, social media and direct engagement, informing programming decisions and representation on air. Volunteers are consulted through regular check-ins, contributing to improvements in training and support. Participants in Gaydio Academy programmes provide structured feedback, which informs course content and progression routes. The company is supported by a volunteer-led Board of Directors, providing strategic oversight and ensuring continued alignment with its community interest objectives.
