Warrington and Halton Hospitals’ (WHH) Charity is marking its 30th anniversary with a special 30-hour live takeover on Warrington Hospital’s Radio General, bringing music, celebrations and stories to patients, staff and supporters across our communities.
Now proudly supporting patients, families and NHS staff across North Cheshire and Mersey NHS Foundation Trust, WHH Charity continues to make a real difference through the generosity and kindness of local people.
The charity broadcast will begin at 11am on Friday 29 May and continue through to 5pm on Saturday 30 May, featuring live interviews, music requests, charity celebration features and special moments throughout the event.
The live launch will take place at the main entrance of Warrington Hospital, where Radio General presenters and charity volunteers will be broadcasting live on air, speaking to volunteers, staff, patients and visitors about the impact WHH Charity has made over the last three decades.
Throughout the 30-hour broadcast, listeners will be able to enjoy a wide range of music, hear charity celebration spots presented by DJs and listen to stories highlighting the impact WHH Charity has made across local hospitals and communities over the last 30 years. Charity volunteer Chrissi Richards will also be supporting the live broadcast team during the event.
