About Us:

Hospital Radio Chelmsford provides a much loved and valued service for the community.

We need your help so we can continue to, and expand provide our personalised patient lead radio entertainment service both internally at Broomfield Hospital and wider in the community.

We want to broadcast to more patients and expand our service to all areas of the Hospital where patients maybe including all treatment areas, waiting and day rooms, and hospices. Many of our patients are lonely, vulnerable, in pain and scared, and hearing their favourite piece of music provides them with some comfort and happiness.

We would also like to expand our service into Doctors surgeries and care homes going forward as not all patients come into Hospital.

We provide radio entertainment to patients, 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, are run entirely by volunteers and have been boradasting for over 52 years.  

We provide a nightly request show where we visit patients and play their favourite tracks of music, to help their recovery. We are often the only visitors some patients have, so we aim to provide comfort, compassion and some escapism from hospital life with music memories.

We also broadcast via the internet so patients can listen to us when they go home and families can interact with their loved ones via this medium.

Thank you for your support and good luck!

Yours sincerely,

Sam
