Welcome to Bay Trust Radio

Bay Trust Radio is your local, award-winning community radio station, broadcasting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from the heart of Kendal. We are proud to serve South Cumbria and North Lancashire with a rich and diverse mix of music, news, interviews, and features focused on health and wellbeing.

What makes Bay Trust Radio truly special is that we are run entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers. From presenters and producers to technical support and admin, our volunteers give their time and talent to create engaging, entertaining, and informative content for listeners of all ages.

Founded with the original purpose of supporting patients and staff in local hospitals, Bay Trust Radio has grown far beyond its hospital roots. Today, we are a station for the whole community – whether you’re relaxing at home, driving to work, walking through the park, or spending time in hospital, we’re right there with you.

Our mission is to inform, uplift, and connect people across the region – and thanks to modern technology, you can take us with you wherever you go. Tune in on your smartphone via our free mobile app, ask your smart speaker to "Play Bay Trust Radio," or listen live online.

No matter where you are, Bay Trust Radio is here for you – your community, your station.
