V2 Radio is out and about across the region celebrating Local Radio Day.

It’s Local Radio Day, and V2 Radio is marking the occasion by connecting with communities across the region.

Local radio plays an essential role in the lives of its listeners, connecting communities with important local news, travel updates, and valuable information.

Today at V2 Radio, we're celebrating by heading to Littlehampton Academy, where students are attempting a world record by covering an entire fence with odd socks to raise awareness about bullying.

Our team will also make stops in Bognor, Chichester, and Midhurst, inviting listeners to join us and contribute to our Christmas Toy Appeal.

Here is Archie a student at Littlehampton Academy talking to V2 Radio's Drive Time Presenter Ian Crouch:
