Fund raising for Sheffield Hospital Radio

Many people assume hospital radio is simply about playing music, but it’s so much more than that. Over 40% of inpatients in Sheffield hospitals don't have visitors from family or friends, and our volunteers may be the only people they interact with who aren’t focused on their medical condition.

All of our staff are dedicated, unpaid volunteers who contribute thousands of hours each year to provide this vital service. To keep running, we need to raise around £4,000 annually. Can you help us make this possible?"
