Young People

TAY Radio is the Royal Exchange Theatre's online radio project, run and managed by young people aged 14 - 21 as part of the Theatre's Truth about Youth project.

After the success of TAY Radio last year The Royal Exchange are bringing it back. The Royal Exchange are looking for young people to get involved in creating a vibrant radio broadcasting presence, working alongside ‘Chris Jam’ - a renowned radio presenter, DJ, poet and creative, who has worked on Kiss FM, Galaxy and Unity Radio.

The participation project at Voluntary Youth Manchester (VYM) has really taken off and consultations have been well underway with young people across the city consulting on what they think a new Manchester Youth magazine should look like, what size it should be and what content it should include. The new magazine will be online and in print and will have an accompanying dedicated Vimeo/YouTube channel all of which will be under the title ‘The Big I Am’
