WEALDEN HEROES - Uckfield FM

Uckfield FM

I am delighted to announce that the last recipients of the Wealden Hero Awards are the teams at Uckfield FM and Hailsham FM.

Wealden’s radio stations are outstanding community assets, run by local people for local people. The work and success of Uckfield FM depends on a fantastic team of volunteers of all ages, who dedicate their time to ensuring that their listeners have the most up to date information and know whom to contact for support.
