On behalf of everyone at Hospital Radio Bedside, I'd like to wish all our listeners, visitors, supporters, friends and family a very happy and healthy new year!

If you're interested in volunteering in 2010, there couldn't be a better time to get in touch. We pride ourselves on looking forward rather than backward and we hope to embrace the new year and drive the association forward; we'd love you to be a part of it!

If, however, you find yourself or someone you know in hospital during the course of 2010, make sure you tune in. Our service is free and I can guarantee that we'll be broadcasting every single minute of the year. We'd love to play your request.

Finally, an invitation to come and join us during the year at our various fund raising events. You'll find details in the local press and keep checking this website. You might find us at your local supermarket or taking part in the town's carnival. We'll be out and about, trying to raise the £15,000 we need to keep broadcasting and we'd love you to support us.
