Get involved in radio & podcasts

There are loads of different ways for people to get involved at Chapel FM Arts Centre. You could come as audience at one of our many events, come along to our community café, or you could could train up to be one of our many radio volunteers! Over 12,000 local people have been in one of our studios since we started broadcasting as East Leeds FM back in 2003, and we add and develop programmes all the time. We'd love for you to get involved too.

What people have said about broadcasting at ELFM...

  • Age is irrelevant here. You could quite easily find high school students and pensioners collaborating on a show!

  • What I love about it, is that it really is accessible right from the moment you pull up in front of the building.

    Vickie Orton

  • I was involved right from the start in 2003 but always said you’d never hear my voice on the radio. I ended up hosting the breakfast show 5 mornings a week!

  • My daughter came along to ELFM first. When I realised what a good time she was having I thought I want a bit of that so I joined up too. Now I’ve got my own music show with loads of guests and live sessions. It’s a real buzz.

    John Toolan

  • I tried out all aspects of broadcasting and I’ve ended up doing a bit of everything. I’m in the tech group, the broadcast group and I even help out serving coffee and cake to studio guests sometimes.
