Hospital Radio Stafford is a voluntary organisation and a registered charity. We have no paid staff.

All donations and contributions go towards maintaining and updating equipment; annual costs of broadcasting and licensing  and purchasing CDs and music tracks.

Funds are raised through street collections, raffles, tombolas and collecting at local events. Local businesses and charitable organisations, such as Rotary Clubs, make donations of money and/or equipment, for which we are very grateful.

To keep HRS on the air seven days a week costs well over £2,000 a year. Cash donations to support the service are always greatly received however most monies are raised through fund raising activities and each member of HRS is expected to participate in these activities.

The job of co-ordinating fund raising events throughout the year rests with the Executive Committee which meets regularly throughout the year looking at opportunities to promote the work of HRS in the local community. As well as Fund Raising these events also serve as ideal publicity events where we can inform the locality of who we are and most importantly what we do.

HRS is always open to the possibility of having some of our programmes sponsored by local companies to aid our fund raising however at the end of the day the majority of funds received will be via the general public at one of our community collections. HRS would personally like to thank the Stafford and Cannock communities for their great support and generosity during recent years. Without your help, HRS would struggle to operate the level of service it currently provides.

Thanks to our colleagues at both Hednesford Town and Stafford Rangers Football Clubs we have been able to raise quite significant funds for the service through donations, quiz night promotions and ground collections.

Stafford Borough Council have been very good  to Hospital Radio Stafford and in the last few years we have had 2 large grants from them.
