Donate and Support
Bay Trust Radio is on air in the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, Blackpool Victoria Hospital and Westmorland General Hospital as well as online to the wider community. We have provided our vital service to patients, staff and visitors since 1977 and strive to keep the listener at the heart of everything we do.
Bay Trust Radio is a registered charity, staffed entirely by volunteers who work in the station during their free time; from presenting, production and web design to ward visitors, request collectors and fundraisers.
Each year, the charity requires donations and support from local people and businesses to continue broadcasting.
