Youth radio stations join forces for Shine Heroes
SPIN 1038, SPIN South West, Beat 102-103 and iRadio are helping to find eight Shine Heroes as part of the Shine Festival this year.
The radio stations, represented by Media Central, are inviting schools and listeners to nominate a teenage girl who has shown courage, kindness, resilience, or community spirit.
iRadio, Beat and the SPIN stations have partnered with Life Style Sports, brokered by Core Sponsorship and Mediaworks.
Listeners will nominate two heroes from each radio station. All eight girls will feature prominently across the youth stations over a fortnight. They will then go forward to represent their region, at the national online event, SHINE 2021 where their unique uplifting stories will be shared and celebrated.
