Developing Legacy Projects
Developing community shows and projects starts with our listeners. They call in, text or email to tell us what they want us to talk about. They give us the ideas that we use to develop our community projects.
Once we have secured funding for a project, we set about developing it. This involves deciding which slot in our schedule would most suit the subject. Some subjects are aimed at people who are at home all day whereas, others are aimed at people who might only be home in the evenings and weekends.
We have our listeners in mind throughout the development stage to ensure that the project fits with what they have told us they want.
When we have delivered the project, we go back to the people involved in it to get their feedback. This helps us to develop the next community project. Some of the people we work with on our community projects have been working with Legacy for a long time so we know each other well and can organise the projects quickly to respond to changes taking place in society.
Other projects take a long time to develop because we have to work with new partners, or we need to do a lot of research first.
