volunteers.
The Trustees are particularly conscious of
the role of our volunteer engineers and the
many hours spent in maintaining, repairing
and – at times – replacing studio
equipment and computers.
The Trustees are also very grateful to
those members who, as well as producing
programmes, give their time to serve on the
Station Committee to assist in delivering a
diverse and well-received service to our
listeners.| |Other||Fundraising is undertaken by the members
who pay an annual subscription. Other
funds come from sponsorship and
donations.| ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Continuity of the Internet Service
(established in November 2017), making it
possible for friends and relatives to place
requests and make dedications for their
loved ones. This facilitates a valued
connection between those who have been
admitted to the Hospital and those in the
community – local and national – and is
hugely appreciated.
The Trustees and Committee continually
consider the future development of the
service. This includes successful volunteer
recruitment and training programme, thus
increasing the proportion of ‘actual’ hours
of personal programme presenting, as
opposed to pre-recorded/automated
broadcasting.
Through enthusiastic fundraising,
sponsorship and donations from local
companies serve to increase publicity for
the service that the Charity provides.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
