To receive this national recognition for the third consecutive year is absolutely fantastic. We are continually developing as a station – with regular training, as well as continuing to recruit a lot of new presenters and famous faces and developing our programming schedule. Having recently been awarded ‘Hospital Radio Station of the Year 2022’ by the Hospital Broadcasting Association, Radio Ysbyty Gwynedd has received wonderful positive feedback from professional judges, which is evident to how professional and appealing our content is to the patients of Ysbyty Gwynedd and our wider community”

“It’s been another great year for Community Radio across the UK, entertaining, informing, and engaging local communities, the true purpose of local radio stations. As ever it’s been a big challenge for our judges from across the industry as the quality of entries is better than ever, a real testament to all that Community Radio stations do in their areas. We wish Radio Ysbyty Gwynedd good luck and can’t wait to host the ceremony in Bedford next month.”
