Radio Faza CIC was incorporated on 19 February 2025 and commenced its community broadcasting operations, following the transfer of the broadcasting licence from Radio Fiza Ltd.
During the reporting period, Radio Faza CIC continued providing multilingual community radio services to the diverse communities of Nottingham and surrounding areas through its FM and DAB broadcasting platforms.
The CIC maintained its established community-focused programming, delivering content in Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Pashto and English, with particular emphasis on serving South Asian communities and other culturally diverse audiences.
Its activities included community information, educational discussions, cultural programming, public-awareness messages and opportunities for local people to participate in broadcasting.

Community Events and Engagement

Alongside its broadcasting activities, Radio Faza CIC continued its involvement in community events, cultural celebrations, awareness initiatives and local gatherings designed to bring people together, encourage social interaction and celebrate Nottingham's cultural diversity.
Through community events and collaborative activities, the CIC provided opportunities for residents, families, volunteers and community organisations to connect, share experiences and participate in local community life. These activities helped promote social inclusion, cultural understanding, community cohesion and a stronger sense of belonging.
The station continued supporting community engagement through its relationships with local organisations, voluntary groups and public-sector partners, helping to communicate information about health, education, community wellbeing and access to local services.

Radio Faza CIC also continued providing opportunities for volunteers and community members to develop confidence, communication skills and broadcasting experience.
These activities benefited the community by improving access to information in familiar languages, promoting cultural understanding, encouraging participation and strengthening connections between local communities and service providers.
Throughout the reporting period, Radio Faza CIC operated with a community-focused, not-for-profit purpose, directing its activities towards delivering social value and maintaining accessible community broadcasting services.

Consultation was conducted through monthly community meetings, direct discussions, telephone calls, WhatsApp communications, social media interactions and informal feedback during broadcasting activities and community engagement initiatives.
These consultations provided opportunities for stakeholders to express their views, identify community needs, suggest programme topics and contribute ideas for improving the station's services and activities.
Feedback received from stakeholders influenced the CIC's programming decisions, community engagement activities and ongoing development of its services. Particular consideration was given to ensuring that broadcasting content remained relevant, culturally appropriate, accessible and responsive to the needs of Nottingham's diverse communities.
The monthly community meetings also provided a platform for discussing local concerns, identifying opportunities for collaboration and encouraging greater participation from community members and voluntary organisations.

Through this ongoing consultation process, Radio Faza CIC continued to strengthen its relationships with stakeholders and ensure that community feedback contributed to its activities and decision-making.
