Community radio stations will hear funding advice and storytelling training at the first CMA Summer Gathering in June.<\/p>\n

The Community Media Association event takes place at Melton Borough Council in Melton Mowbray on Saturday 13th June 2026, in association with 103 The Eye.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The gathering runs from 9.30am to 5pm and is aimed at people working across community media, with speakers and networking planned during the day.<\/p>\n

Valerie Geller will lead a workshop called \u2018Transforming Community Storytelling\u2019, created for the CMA Summer Gathering. Valerie is also the author of \u2018Beyond Powerful Radio\u2019, a book used by broadcasters, podcasters and digital media creators.<\/p>\n

Mark Jones, who recently stepped down as Chair of the Community Radio Fund, is also due to speak.<\/p>\n

Mark will share advice on what can make a stronger Community Radio Fund application, as well as where stations may be able to improve their chances when applying.<\/p>\n

The CMA says Mark will not comment on individual bids, but his session will give practical guidance based on his time close to the decision making process.<\/p>\n

More speakers are due to be announced ahead of the event.<\/p>\n
