Radio Academy

The Radio Academy is a registered charity dedicated to "the encouragement, recognition and promotion of excellence in UK broadcasting and audio production".

[4] The Academy also runs regular Masterclasses for young people who would like to work in radio.

[8] In 2011, the Radio Academy launched its annual 30 Under 30 scheme, recognising talented young people in the industry by publishing a list of 30 "ones to watch" each year.

Fellowships are awarded to recognise individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the industry and/or the Academy, usually from behind the scenes rather than in front of the microphone.

[11] Patrons of the Radio Academy are organisations and companies that contribute to its charitable works by bulk-buying Membership for their staff.
