Hospital Radio Bedford members have raised money by flag days, sponsored events, the sale of duplicate and old records, Christmas Bazaars, fun days and fetes to name but a few Hospital Radio Bedford provides over thirty seven hours of wide ranging radio programmes each week to the 300 patients of Bedford General Hospital We have the unique opportunity of being able to visit our listeners on the wards when collecting requests for our nightly request programmes As we are a registered charity a percentage of funds is raised through membership fees, but most is obtained by fundraising events held throughout the year and donations For two years in succession we held a three day Mega Broadcast session, playing Number One Hits from the last thirty years, which was sponsored by local businesses
