AIR 107.2 has launched a crowdfunding campaign to provide them with the funds needed to cover the running costs of the station.

The Weymouth and Portland based radio station has struggled significantly throughout the lockdown through the cancellation of its events.

Party in the Park, a yearly event hosted by the AIR, has been called off this year due to the coronavirus, along with a number of other local events the station attends throughout the year. This has lead to a large drop in funds for the station.

In addition to this, many of AIR’s sponsors have yet to reopen following the lockdown period.

AIR 107.2 is a community radio station, which broadcasts 24/7 and is run entirely by volunteers.

A spokesperson from Air 107.2 said: “We are crowdfunding to support the running costs of the station so that we can continue keeping you up to date with community events, local and national news, showcasing local musicians and giving volunteering opportunities to the young people in our community. Please show your support to AIR 107.2 and help us to get through this together”
