I have been lucky in the way that I have never needed the services provided by a charity. However, that does not exclude the possibility I have been helped indirectly by a charity such as The League of Friends that supports hospitals. Since childhood, I have understood the importance of charities, and I have helped in any way I could. Below are some of the charities I support.

One of the oldest hospital radio stations in the world, ghr, broadcasts a unique blend of music, news and sport for the entertainment of patients and staff at the Diana Princess of Wales Hospital.
Before moving to Sheffield, I was a member of ghr. Along with broadcasting, request collecting and raising awareness, I created two versions of the ghr website. A new site is currently being discussed.
League of Friends of the Grimsby Hospitals

In 1956 an enthusiastic group of business men and women met at the old hospital to form what is now known as The League of Friends of the Grimsby Hospitals. The League is a voluntary organisation which raises money for the Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital.
