Radio stations

Able was founded in 2006 by a group of volunteers passionate about improving the everyday lives of those living with a disability. Starting as a radio station, the enterprise grew rapidly through demand and now plays a pivotal role within the community.

We are believed to be the first Radio Station run by people with Learning Disabilities and Autism in the world!

Beyond on-air broadcasts, we have developed a range of offerings which are designed to be personalised and tailored to each individual's needs.

Able aims to assist each individual in developing their sense of purpose and individuality by providing an enhanced person-centred approach.

We strongly believe in the limitless potential of every single individual, therefore, our mission is to help our participants develop existing skills for personal growth, build confidence, and develop friendships. We do this through dynamic, forward thinking activities and skill-sessions that encourage each individual engage with the community around them.
