Station Manager, Wayne Dunley, presented with cheque from Coity Festivals, with trainee Rock Show Presenter Megan Hayes.
Bridgend’s Hospital Radio has received a generous £250 donation from Coity Festivals, following the success of their Jam In The Castle event held at Coity Castle in June.
The popular live music event brought together local musicians, residents, and visitors for a day of entertainment in the historic surroundings of Coity Castle, with proceeds raised supporting local community causes. This year, organisers chose to support Bridgend’s Hospital Radio in recognition of the station’s ongoing work providing companionship, entertainment, and comfort to patients across the Princess of Wales Hospital.
The donation will help support the running of the station, which is staffed entirely by volunteers and relies on fundraising and community generosity to continue broadcasting 24 hours a day to patients.
Station Manager Wayne Dunkley expressed his gratitude for the support:
“We are incredibly grateful to Coity Festivals for choosing Bridgend’s Hospital Radio as a beneficiary of Jam In The Castle. Donations like this make a real difference and help us continue providing a friendly voice and a sense of normality to patients during what can be a difficult time. It’s fantastic to see such strong community support for our work.”
Bridgend’s Hospital Radio would like to thank everyone involved in organising Jam In The Castle, as well as all those who attended and helped raise funds. Support from local events such as this ensures the station can continue serving patients and staff throughout the hospital.
