The objects of the CIO are: 1. To advance the education and training of the public and in particular, but not exclusively, persons who have a learning disability in radio broadcasting and media skills techniques and to advance the education of the public through radio broadcasts on such topics as the trustees deem fit; and 2. To relieve the needs and preserve and protect the physical and mental health of those suffering long-term or life-limiting illnesses and / or disabilities through the provision of grants to cover the costs of specialist treatment or equipment and such other assistance as the trustees deem appropriate. These objectives are expressed on our website (bigearradio.com) as: Big Ear Radio has two key objectives: 1. To provide a service that’s deeply relevant and supportive to listeners with disabilities, their families, carers, and anyone with an interest in disability. 2. To show all listeners that a radio station primarily staffed by presenters with disabilities can entertain, inform, and amuse just like any other. |

| Big Ear Radio is the radio station name for Equal Ability Radio and was established over 4 years ago by our CEO Trevor Krueger. Big Ear Radio now runs online 24/ 7 and regularly records over 2,000 listeners each month. There are currently approximately 15 volunteer presenters from various countries including USA, Canada and Germany and the UK, who pre- record their shows which are designed to please a wide range of musical tastes. Our figures record that Big Ear Radio has reached listeners in over 120 countries and many positive reviews are received. Our Mission Our mission is to foster better social integration and challenge the misconception that "disabled" means "less able" to accomplish any task or challenge. Our broadcasts will feature content that resonates with our listeners, addressing gaps often overlooked by mainstream media. Big Ear Radio plays a vital role in promoting inclusion and fostering better integration. We make ourselves available as a unifying umbrella for other like-minded charities and NGOs. We are currently working with Bankability, Bushido CIC and The Kings Trust. We have recently opened an online shop called flutterbyshop.com to retail products of interest to the disabled and inform focusing on comfort, mobility and occupational therapy. |
