VOLUNTEERS came in around the clock for the annual Big Bedrock 24-hour marathon broadcast at Queen's Hospital, Romford, raising £700.
Bedrock broadcast the marathon live from their in-house studio, which has recently been modernised with the latest radio software and new mixing desks.
Bedrock is a registered charity which transmits free radio to the hospital's patients.
It receives no funding from the NHS or Government, relying entirely on fundraising to cover all costs.
Bedrock is on air 24 hours a day, providing a mix of live and pre-recorded shows throughout the week to entertain patients.
The aim is to help to relieve the effects of pain and illness and to help rehabilitate patients, and and the radio station is run entirely by a team of dedicated volunteers.
Bedrock's chairman, Mathew Watson, said: "This year's Broadcast Marathon has been all about raising awareness and much-needed funds for our hospital radio service.
"We are very grateful for the support we have received from local companies and many members of the public."
