The Hospital Broadcasting Association (HBA) is committed to supporting hospital radio stations across the UK, enhancing their ability to provide comfort and entertainment to patients. One of the key ways we do this is through our Grants and Bursaries program. This initiative is designed to offer financial assistance to member stations, ensuring they have the resources needed to improve their services and reach more patients.
Our grants provide funding for a variety of projects, from purchasing new equipment and upgrading existing technology to training volunteers and expanding station capabilities. By alleviating some of the financial burdens, we enable stations to focus on what they do best: delivering high-quality, patient-centered broadcasting.
The bursaries we offer are equally important, as they are aimed at developing the skills and talents of the individuals who volunteer their time and expertise. Whether it’s attending industry conferences, enrolling in specialized training courses, or gaining hands-on experience with new broadcasting techniques, these bursaries empower our volunteers to grow personally and professionally.
The HBA understands the challenges that hospital radio stations face, particularly in securing funding amidst tightening budgets. Our Grants and Bursaries program is a testament to our commitment to sustaining and enhancing the hospital broadcasting community. By supporting these stations and their dedicated volunteers, we help bring the healing power of music and conversation to patients during their time in care. Join us in our mission to make hospital stays a little brighter and more connected through the power of radio.
