RADIO ACADEMY(THE)

The Radio Academy is the UK audio and radio industry charity, established in 1983. We are dedicated to the promotion of excellence in UK audio and radio. We aim to bring together people from across the audio sector, advancing equity and breaking down barriers to open opportunities for connection, development and celebration. We present a calendar of national, regional and online events for our members, including the annual Radio Academy Festival and regular networking events or talks. We run three major UK audio award and recognition schemes: the Radio Academy ARIAS, our 30 Under 30 list, and the Young Audio Awards for young people aged 8-18. We offer skills and career development opportunities. As a charity, we are grateful for donations, which help us support our members and the wider industry. We are governed by a board of Trustees, elected by our Members. The Radio Academy Festival returns to the Royal College of Physicians, London on Wednesday 17th September 2025. The ARIAS are the UK audio and radio awards presented annually to recognise, honour and reward outstanding shows and the teams behind them.
