DCTV Community TV
DCTV turns the everyday work of churches, charities, CICs and community groups into short, powerful visual stories – from iCare 5Why features to Day in a Life journeys and event highlights.
The Types of Stories DCTV Tells
Everything is short, focused and designed to be shared – for social media, websites, events and training.

How DCTV Connects with the Other Platforms
DCTV is one part of a bigger system: iCare, DCRadio Directory, DCRadio Hub and DCTribe.
From 5Why to video to listing
An organisation’s iCare 5Why story can become:
- A short DCTV feature or Day in a Life video.
- Linked to their DCRadio Directory listing.
- Embedded on their own website or social channels.
Video and audio side by side
DCTV content can be paired with radio segments on DCRadio Hub:
- Hear the story on air, see the story on screen.
- Radio segments can direct listeners to the video version.
- Perfect for testimonies, campaigns and awareness drives.
Training with real examples
DCTV pieces are used inside DCTribe as:
- Case studies of community storytelling.
- Examples for editing and media ethics sessions.
- Material to reflect on impact, language and representation.

DCRadio Directory
A community-first directory for churches, charities, wellbeing services and local spots, organised into four simple hubs.
