This covers only a small proportion of our operational costs [such as office overheads, power, broadband, consumables, travel etc] and we can't afford to pay wages so our full time volunteers have mortgaged their own home to underwrite operational costs and their living expenses for 5 years......... ........... That's why your financial support, partnerships and volunteer time is so important to us, because what you see at www.radioheritage.net is only the tip of an iceberg of Pacific wide radio heritage you're entitled to share. We're regulated by the Charities Commission in New Zealand with whom we file annual and financial reports although we operate globally.
