 The Heart of Radio Fred

Connecting Brighton & Hove’s voices and stories together.

Radio Fred is a community radio platform built to support businesses, champion local communities, and lift voices that deserve to be heard. We shine a light on the people, places and ideas that make this city what it is — creative, inclusive and proudly independent.
