Posted 26/2/11 :: HRST Require New Volunteers
Station Communications Manager Simon Smith explains “Although our primary activity is broadcasting, a huge part of what we do involves being on the wards, talking to patients and trying to make their stay in hospital that little bit easier. While some of our volunteers do present programmes we’re really looking for people who want to spend time on the wards collecting requests or people who can offer the technical skills required in running a radio station. This would suit people of all age groups who can give us a couple of hours of their time a weekâ€. If you would be interested in getting involved, more details can be found on the join us page or by contacting the station on 0844 5865201. Posted 26/2/11 :: HRST Launches Car Prize Draw
