About Us
East Leeds FM was created back in 2003 as a pilot project run by Heads Together Productions with students from John Smeaton High School. It has grown and developed since then and in 2014 we saved the crumbling old Seacroft Chapel to create Chapel FM Arts Centre; a new home for ELFM and the first-ever dedicated arts centre in East Leeds. In 2023 we changed the name of our radio station to East Leeds Communiy Radio to reflect the work we currently do. Happy listening!
We have a 99 year lease on Chapel FM...we're there for the long run! And we believe that organisations and venues like ours, sitting in the heart of communities, are a crucial part of working to create a better society—one that is not divided along economic, social and cultural lines.
