Hope 103.2 is community-funded media with a mission:
To impact people with experiences of God’s love so that they may become more like Christ and the world more like the Kingdom.
When you give a gift to Hope 103.2, you are supporting more than what you hear on-air – you are financially supporting a multimedia organisation trying to bring a message of hope, and connect communities in that one hope, to the people of Sydney and further thanks to ever-growing digital spaces.
I want to share that one hope!
The work of Hope 103.2
Here are a number of ways Hope 103.2 works to impact people with experiences of God’s love…
- Through the music we play and a variety of on-air shows tackling tough topics with compassion
- Right here on our website and via our app, bringing you faith-centred stories and much more
- By producing unique Real Hope devotions (in print for NSW and QLD) and online for everyone
- Creating a range of podcasts from prominent Christian leaders and experts in their field to parenting advice and entertainment
- Over on our YouTube channel, providing on-demand extended video interviews and fun
- Delivering Hope News by a professional Sydney team of journalists, spearheaded by Anita Savage
- Directing you to practical support including prayer, our Community Noticeboard and Church Directory, and vital helplines
- Connecting those who have with those in need – through The Hope Collective initiative
- Hosting or partnering in Christian and community events around Sydney and Australia
- And, through our network of Hope 103.2 sponsors – businesses that do more than just promote their own products and services
To keep a vital voice of hope resonating throughout our city and the world, today and into the future, takes a united effort – an effort that will reap great reward for you, your family, friends and the communities you live and work in, in this challenging time in history.

hope1032.com.au and Hope 103.2 app
Right here on hope1032.com.au, we host our four Stations – Hope 103.2, Inspire by Hope 103.2, FRESH and Christmas Hope – plus the stories that mainstream media don’t cover such as the in-depth look into the faith behind Sydney’s Abdallah family, how volunteer chaplains responded to victims of bushfires and floods, and the faith of the Queen. We also focus on campaigns to activate community generosity such as Hope in Action: Supporting Community, Back to Business and Kickstart Your Career – the latter two borne out of a desire to meaningfully contribute to pandemic recovery efforts – and resources to strengthen your faith and inspire hope like our Easter and Christmas packages.
On our app, we highlight the things you’ve told us you love the most – the latest music, podcasts, news and stories.

Hope News
The Hope News Service included a lot of prayer, 40 years of patience and incredible generosity from Hope 103.2 supporters in order to launch it at the end of 2019 with a team of professional journalists, directed by news veteran Anita Savage, who gather the news each hour and report it to meet the needs and expectations of our listeners.

Practical support
We, at Hope 103.2, strongly believe in faith in action, and one of the ways we feel we can practically support and journey with you through all seasons of life is through prayer. It has the potential to transform people and culture and the ability to unite communities and build hope, regardless of circumstances. We also encourage you to connect with a local church and have our Church Directory available to find one nearest you.
Other practical support includes our Community Noticeboard service that helps churches and not-for-profit community groups promote their upcoming events for free, and highlighting reputable counselling services and helplines if you’re struggling and need to talk to someone.

The Hope Collective
Each year, we come across so many amazing organisations, businesses and individuals who just want a way to help – especially in times of crisis (and, we can all agree, we’ve experienced a few of those lately). So, Hope 103.2 wanted to find a way to be a catalyst for those who are looking for ways to give to reach those in our community in need and launched The Hope Collective that has already seen huge community generosity efforts such as the Kids to Camp appeal – sending children from drought-ravaged NSW regional towns to Scripture Union camps – and Volkswurst’s German food truck catering a COVID-safe street party and, more recently, feeding Nepean Cancer Care Centre.

Events
Who else is going to support bringing Christian bands like For King & Country and Rend Collective to Sydney other than your very own Christian community station Hope 103.2? We love to help host and promote great faith-centred and community outreach events from Hillsong Church’s Colour Conference and Blacktown carols to primary school Christmas markets and faith-movie screenings.
Hope 103.2 Sponsors
While businesses, churches and community groups choose to sponsor Hope 103.2 because of our unique and dedicated audience who tune in longer than the average commercial radio listening time, our family-friendly content and affordability, many of our sponsors are also like-minded in our pursuit to impact people with experiences of God’s love.
