Doing something good? We want to help keep you online.

If you run hospital radio, a registered charity or a genuine non-profit project, the last thing you should be worrying about is whether you can afford decent hosting or a reliable radio stream.

Tell us what you do and who you support. If your organisation is eligible, Online Audience can provide free radio streaming and web hosting so more of your budget can stay focused on the people and communities you are actually there to help.

We Help You Get Set Up

If you are moving from somewhere else or starting fresh, we will help make the setup as straightforward as possible.

Why We Do It

Because the money is better spent on your work than on a hosting invoice.

Hospital radio, charities and volunteer-led projects often do a huge amount with very small budgets. If we can take one technical cost off your list, that is one less thing for your team to worry about.

01

Hospital Radio Matters

Music, requests, familiar voices and local programming can make a real difference to patients spending time in hospital.

02

Charities Need To Be Found

A reliable website helps people understand your work, support campaigns, volunteer, donate and stay up to date.

03

Volunteer Teams Need Simple Tools

Not everyone on the team is technical, so we aim to keep the hosting and streaming side easy to manage.

What You Get

Free does not mean “barely usable”.

The point is to give eligible organisations a proper foundation they can actually use day to day.

Radio Streaming

Professional online audio streaming for hospital radio, charity radio and suitable non-profit broadcasting projects.

Hosting for your organisation’s website, information pages, campaign content and online resources.

HELP

Setup Support

We can help with the move, the initial setup and the common technical questions that come with getting online.

Hospital Radio

Keep the station heard beyond the studio.

Hospital radio can be part entertainment, part companionship and part connection. We help provide the technical base so your volunteers can focus on making good radio.

Charity Hosting

Your website should help the cause, not become another expense.

A charity website needs to explain what you do, build trust and make it easy for people to get involved. We can help with the hosting side so your team can focus on the mission.

Getting Started

Tell us what you do. We will take it from there.

We do not expect a charity or hospital radio volunteer to turn up with a technical specification. Just explain the organisation and what you need online.

01

Send us a message

Open a ticket or message us and tell us the name of your organisation and what it does.

02

We check eligibility

We will confirm whether the organisation fits the free hospital radio / charity hosting programme.

03

We work out what you need

Streaming, web hosting, migration or a mixture of both — we will help choose the sensible setup.

04

We get it online

Once approved, we prepare the service and help you through the move or first-time setup.

Built Around Real Teams

You do not need a full-time IT department.

A lot of hospital radio stations and charities are run by small teams and volunteers. We know that means the technical side needs to be practical rather than over-complicated.
