A message from Jennifer Ogole, CEO of BANG Edutainment and BANG Radio

BANG Edutainment has been providing creative and media training for young people in Brent for over ten years now. Our vision when it all started was to provide an outlet for young people to enjoy themselves, increase their skills and improve their employment prospects.

We’ve achieved a lot, and continue with our core aim - addressing youth social exclusion - with as much commitment and enthusiasm as ever. As you’re reading this here you already know all about our radio arm, BANG Radio, broadcasting across Brent and worldwide online. Check out our latest good news - winning “Best Local Radio Station in London” at this year’s Radio Academy Nations and Regions Awards.

To keep things moving we decided we wanted to make the association between our training services and our broadcasting clearer so we’re now BANG Radio, moving on from Life FM. It’s not just a name change; our primary target audience will match our target beneficiaries – socially excluded young people. Music will reflect young people’s interests and provide an opportunity to showcase talent while speech shows will provide a voice and an opportunity to address relevant issues. And of course all this will be creative and entertaining.

This restructuring and our planned new direction - extending our good work out of Brent, across London, indeed anywhere where people can benefit from our training and activities - is the real reason for this message: if YOU can help with any skills, ideas or contacts you may have please do get in touch. Of course, financing our ongoing work and plans is always critical, so I’d like to draw your attention to our Just Giving initiative. If you could make a contribution, no matter how big or small, we’d be absolutely delighted and grateful.  It really is a case of every little helps…

Thank you

Jennifer Ogole
