Local Independent Councillors Visit BHR Wales Studios
On Monday 21st October, BHR Wales was delighted to welcome a group of local independent councillors to our studios in Bridgend for a special visit.
The councillors were invited to see firsthand how the grant funding provided has been used to enhance our facilities and support the work of our dedicated volunteer team. The visit offered an opportunity to demonstrate the tangible impact of their generosity on the day-to-day running of the station and the wider hospital community we serve.
Thanks to this vital funding, BHR Wales has been able to:
-
Upgrade studio equipment to improve sound quality and reliability
-
Maintain and enhance our broadcasting technology
-
Continue training and supporting our team of volunteer presenters
-
Expand our reach, ensuring patients, staff, and visitors can enjoy our programmes across the hospital network
Our guests were given a behind-the-scenes tour of the studios, met some of our volunteers, and saw live broadcasting in action. They also learned more about the station’s ongoing mission — to provide comfort, entertainment, and companionship to hospital patients across the region.
Speaking after the visit, BHR Wales Station Manager, Wayne Dunley, expressed his gratitude for the continued support from local councillors and the community:
“Grants like this make a real difference. They help us keep broadcasting, improving what we do, and ensuring that every patient who tunes in feels a little less alone.”
BHR Wales is proud to be part of such a supportive community. We extend our sincere thanks to the councillors who took the time to visit and to everyone who continues to back our work.
Together, we’re making sure hospital radio continues to play an important role in patient care and wellbeing across South Wales.
