Since 2022 we've been really busy developing courses for young people, to help build their confidence, their communication skills and also to give them the opportunity to have their voices heard on the radio across the Vale of Glamorgan!

Through the Bro Radio Academy, we're offering the chance to introduce even more young people (11-18) to the world of radio and the wider world of media. It's the training and development arm of Bro Radio (a not-for-profit community interest company) which delivers a local radio station for local people, run by local people.

We have purpose-built radio studios in YMCA Barry and The Old School in Llantwit Major, serving all of the Vale of Glamorgan.

We're providing opportunities for youngsters to create their own content whilst also completing a recognised Agored Cymru "Preparing to Present Radio Broadcasting" qualification.
