Programs

The supply of those means in the hope that facilities offered will bring about a more effective and creative community life, break down prejudice and remove isolation where such isolation has negative results is a primary object of the co-operative. (Rule 13)

The mission of Radio Northern Beaches is to provide opportunities for individuals and groups within the Manly-Warringah-Pittwater area to make programs. As such, every program that goes to air is made by people from the local area. The co-op aims to encourage many broadcasting to many rather than few broadcasting to many. [3] [4]

Introductory training workshops are held regularly to introduce new members to the radio station.

All members of Radio Northern Beaches are volunteers.
