Statutory Declaration on Public Benefit

Executive Summary
The charity has been proactive in meeting the charitable objects, in ensuring broadcasting to Frimley Park Hospital throughout the year, even whilst remote broadcasting from presenters’ homes. This is supported by broadcasting public service announcements, medical-specific features, as well as health and wellbeingbased podcasts.
Activities, Achievements & Performance
To achieve the charity’s objectives and to meet the charity’s vision “Serving Frimley Health, improving wellbeing through entertainment” , there has been continued broadcasting to the patients at, and visitors to the Hospital throughout the year.
There have also been some specific tasks undertaken in respect to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic in the year. The largest achievement this term is to enable presenters to broadcast from their homes and in such a way that the listener would not notice much difference. To be able to honour the objective of being the friend by the bedside, whilst not ordinarily in the studio, was a magnificent feat from the engineering team.
Where the direct interactions with the audience via ward visiting was halted even before the studio being shut down during the first lockdown, during the period of home broadcasting, the station could still
honour requests from patients who contacted the station or staff collecting requests from patients when wards were called by presenters.
Additionally, there has been the publishing and broadcasting the regular updates provided by Public Health England, keeping the listener up to date and to promote the health benefits in our objectives.
The launch of ‘Radio Rheumatology’, a podcast series created and presented in conjunction with the Rheumatology department in the Hospital, has been very successful. It has aided the work of the health professionals in this field to give a wider platform for information and advice to be heard and is available on demand on the charity’s website.
