RADIO Clatterbridge is appealing for help...

It is looking for dedicated people to help visit hospital patients and collect requests.

Applicants should be available to visit the wards on a regular basis, collecting messages and requests for the station's many request programmes.

"We are looking for pleasant people who enjoy talking to others and do not mind spending time with individual patients," said Rod France, Radio Clatterbridge request co-ordinator.

Those interested should write to Rod at Radio Clatterbridge, Clatterbridge Hospital, Bebington, Wirral L63 4JY.

Radio Clatterbridge has provided entertainment and information to patients and staff of Clatterbridge Hospital for more than 45 years.

The station is run by a team of more than 60 dedicated volunteers and broadcasts, via land-lines, every day of the year.
