One thing that we are always looking for at NHR is willing volunteers. Even if you have no intention of broadcasting on the radio, you can still get involved. Infact, we have a large number of teams that you can get involved in. Whether it’s keeping the technical equipment going, getting NHR known, or visiting the wards, it’s bound to be a rewarding experience.

On top of that, you’ll be having a positive impact on the time the people have to spend in hospital. There’s the chance to meet new people. On the ward in in the hospital.

However, we do have a few requirements of you – 

  • A willingness to muck in
  • A regular commitment of time
  • You must be over 16
  • You need to undertake the hospitals vetting process including DBS checks.

For that, you will be rewarded in ways that you never before thought possible.
