Student Radio Association
The Student Radio Association (SRA) is a representative body which supports and acts on behalf of the UK student radio community, comprising radio stations that are associated with or linked to a place of education. It is a not-for-profit organisation which exists to encourage and facilitate communication between student stations, to assist in their development, and to offer support and advice to new stations in the process of setting up. The SRA receives support from industry partners including the Radio Academy, Skillset and the RadioCentre.
The Student Radio Association organises events for its members including the National Student Radio Conference (where delegates have an opportunity to receive advice and support from industry professionals) and the Student Radio Awards, a yearly black-tie awards event recognising the very best telent within Student Radio.
In November 2007, the SRA was incorporated as a Private Company Limited by Guarantee. Currently, six voluntary 'Executive Officers' are elected annually by the membership and fulfil the role of company directors. The predecessor of the Association, NASB (National Association of Student Broadcasting), went into voluntary liquidation in January 2002.

“In this great association we know no North, no South, no East, no West. This has been our pride for all these years. We have no political party. We never have inquired what anybody’s religion is. All we ever have asked is simply, “Do you believe in perfect equality for women?” This is the one article in our creed.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
