A community radio station in Luton is celebrating after receiving the
highest honour awarded to voluntary organisations.

Diverse FM <http://diversefm.com/> has been given The Queen's Award for
Voluntary Service
<https://www.gov.uk/queens-award-for-voluntary-service/overview> which is
personally vetted by The Queen herself.

The station's Community Media and Training Projects have helped young
people from the town gain experience in broadcasting and develop wider
skills to help them enter the workplace.

Through partnerships with the Department for Work & Pensions it has
successfully retrained more than a 1000 jobseekers.

The station was set up in 2000 to promote community cohesion and was
granted a licence to broadcast full time in 2007.
