Social responsibility is a key area for us and we operate a proactive social responsibility programme called ‘We Care’. Through this programme we will often produce content, stories, articles, programmes and posts for and on behalf of various charities, appeals and non-profit organisations for the greater good of humanity, we do not and will never charge for any such content. Moreover, we also freely broadcast at least one free ‘charity’ or ‘appeal’ spot per hour on our audio productions as part of the ‘We Care’ programme – again no payment is required, sought or accepted for inclusion on those broadcast spots. We are also welcoming of any nominations for possible inclusion for any charities, appeals or non-profit organisations in the ‘We Care’ programme and any such nominations should be emailed to us, allowing as much time as possible. Recent donations as a result of the ‘We Care’ programme total £25 this year.
