Ocean Youth Presenter’s dad takes on the marathon!

One of our Ocean Youth Radio presenters, Dan, recently shared some exciting news on air…

This weekend, his dad, Guy Boosey, is taking on the London Marathon!

Guy is running in support of Sound Communities/Ocean Youth and Link Torbay who have supported Dan on his journey.

We’re so proud of everything Dan has achieved with us at Ocean Youth and the determination he shows every day.

“Dan never gives up, and that spirit will carry me through every mile of this marathon. If he can keep pushing forward, then so can I.”
— Guy Boosey

We’re all behind Guy, and the whole Ocean Youth team wishes Guy the very best of luck as he heads to London this weekend!

Easter Monday: Schools Takeover

Schools Takeover is here!

Over the past few months, we’ve been working with primary schools across Torbay, running after-school clubs where students planned and recorded their very own radio shows all about school life.

Through the RadioAhead project, Year 6 students have been building confidence, creativity, and finding their voice as they prepare for secondary school, all through radio, podcasting, and music-making in a safe, supportive space.

Tune in on Easter Monday to hear all the episodes live!
