Refugee Radio is a charity registered in England.

The organisation broadcasts a radio programme in partnership with Radio Reverb, a local radio station in the South East. The programme is syndicated on various internet radio stations [1] and is based on the long-running BBC Radio 4 programme, Desert Island Discs . [2] Instead of interviewing celebrities however, it features refugee “castaways” and plays the music they brought with them to the UK. [3] [4] [5] The project also contributes to the Refugee Week internet radio broadcasts and the International Migrants Day broadcast. [6]
