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 .
