It all started back in 1996, a group of volunteers decided that a community
project on a large scale needed to be established. We founded Inspiration FM
which targeted cultural awareness in Northamptonshire. Over the years, they
were granted short term radio licences which was a great start and they were
helped along the way from a number of sponsors.
We've been based at 20 Sheep Street, Northampton NN1 2LU since 1996 and
along the way we have achieved a number of things. Here's to name a few;
-Greek show added to line-up in November 1997.
-Northants Police Community Action Award 2001.
-Winners of the Queens Award for Voluntary Services 2004.
After continuing our vision to provide a service to the wider community, in
2010, Ofcom granted Inspiration FM with a 5 year licence enabling us a full 24
hours a day service. A lot of effort was put together recruiting new volunteers,
testing out transmissions as well as promoting the exciting news to everyone.
On Saturday 24th July 2010, Inspiration FM was officially opened by the local
Mayor. A year has now passed and this brand new newsletter will guide you
through some of the things we have done to help the multicultural community
here in Northamptonshire over the past year.

Supporting the Community.
Over the years before we had our new 5 year licence, we were committed to
help the community become aware of what some people or organisations do
within Northamptonshire. To assist, we carried a number of interviews on air.
From July 2010 to present, we have been extensively continuing to help out the
community in order to help them get exposure. To name a few, here are some
organisations we have helped out over the past year through interviews...
Young Achievers Community Volunteering Service
British Heart Foundation
Springboard Music Festival
Princes Trust
Joan Tumbline Autistic Childrens Charity
The Lowdown
Salvation ArmyThe Local Elections

Party in the Park.
On Saturday 4th June it was a gorgeous sunny day for party in the park. The Inspiration FM crew were
down to enjoy the sunshine. It was the first time an event like this has been done in Northampton with the
performing acts The Knights of The Damned, Leon Jackson, the Chippendoubles and many more.
Over 4000 people turned up to the event with the organisers keen to do the same next year. Here are some
photos of our Danny Thompson intereviewing some of the Chippendoubles.

Carnival 2011.On Saturday 11th June Northampton was getting ready and preparing for a gorgeous
event in the sunshine, the Northampton carnival. The theme this year was Footsteps
Through Life: A Colourful Journey. The event which was in its 7th year had a record high
