Following a fire that devastated their studio on August 8, community radio station BCfm have been raising money to rebuild their station.
The blaze, which broke out while a presenter was live on air, burned crucial equipment including monitors, mixers and soundproofing. The estimated cost of the damage exceeds £15,000.

Since the crowdfunding page launched, the station has raised over £9,000, meaning that the team can begin planning the studio's rebuild.
Now the station has a stretch target of £10,000, with any further funds raised to be “invested back into BCfm” to secure facility upgrades, training and the station’s future.
A registered charity with no core funding, BCfm radio has been broadcasting since 2007 as Bristol's first community radio station. The radio has 200 volunteers and over 70 shows.
