3CR Radiothon 2023

Will you support the 2023 Radiothon? The station needs your help to ‘Stay Radical’ and provide a vital platform for the issues that get left behind, and the voices that get silenced. We need the community to 'Stay Tuned' to diverse voices and alternative perspectives in order to create meaningful social change. Please help the station to build and expand this critical media outlet, and encourage others to ‘Stay Tuned, Stay Radical’. Make a donation to our Radiothon today. Any amount makes a big difference, and all donations over $2 are tax deductible. Awesome artwork by Nicky Minus. And THANK YOU for your support. 

National Volunteer Week

This year’s National Volunteer Week (15-21 May) theme is ‘The Change Makers’. This perfectly captures the spirit of our incredible volunteers - from managing reception to creating podcasts, tending to our garden, and producing captivating radio, our volunteers are making a meaningful and lasting impact in our community every day. Volunteering at 3CR is a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable skills, meet like-minded individuals, and make a positive difference in the world. Keen to be a ‘Change Maker’? Get in touch today.
