Fund raising for Sheffield Hospital Radio

Hospital radio is more than just music – it’s a lifeline. In Sheffield hospitals, over 40% of patients receive no visitors from family or friends. For many, the friendly voice of a hospital radio volunteer is their only human connection outside of clinical care. This vital service is powered entirely by unpaid volunteers who give thousands of hours each year to brighten patients’ days. But we can’t do it alone. We need to raise £4,000 a year to keep our service running.

We are looking for businesses or individuals to help with sponsorships, donations or raising funds to help us. With your support, we can continue to be a voice of comfort in lonely hospital rooms. If you would like to support us please get in touch, Thank You!
