We marked 30 years with 30-hour radio celebration

To mark 30 years, we partnered with Radio General for a continuous 30-hour live broadcast that filled Warrington Hospital with music, stories and community voices.

Broadcasting from inside the hospital, the team hosted live interviews, took song requests and shared reflections on three decades of charitable impact across local healthcare services. The launch began at the main entrance, with presenters, volunteers
and staff joining the live coverage as it went on air.

Charity volunteer and Radio General presenter Chrissi Richardson said: “Being part of the 30 hour live radio broadcast celebrating 30 years of the charity was a really special experience for me.

“We were set up right inside Warrington Hospital, and it didn’t take long for people to get involved. Patients listened from their beds, requested songs and chatted with presenters, which made it feel very personal. Visitors coming through the hospital stopped to ask what was happening and quickly joined in too, with some even dancing as they walked through.

“There were lots of lovely moments, including a patient from Ward A5 coming back several times just to listen, and staff from A&E getting in touch while listening from the corridor. Local staff from Costa and Greggs also took time to say how much they enjoyed
it.

“A real highlight was a paediatric nurse joining us with her guitar and singing live.”

Thank you to everyone who took part, supported, listened, and help make the celebration possible.
