Sponsorships and Donations

Sponsoring a Programme

Sponsoring a Programme on Coastway Hospital Radio For Brighton costs less than you think!

For as little as £175 a year your company will receive a mention three times per hour during the programme being sponsored, and will be featured on our website and on Facebook. This cost works out at just 50p a day!

We believe that this is a very cost-efficient way of ensuring your advertising reaches a wide audience, for a fraction of the price of other methods.

It is a fact that patients remember messages that are broadcast to them during their stay in hospital – they listen on headphones and there are fewer distractions, unlike regular radio listening. This means that there is a vast audience that will absorb the name and nature of your company.

There are 1,500 beds all connected to Hospedia Channel 6 and on average a patient’s stay in hospital is three to four days. This constantly changing audience means that we are heard by a large number of people. Coastway is consistently the most popular station with patients. We also attract many listeners to our website, where patients, families and friends can continue to enjoy our programming. The range of programmes we provide includes every genre and type of music and talk media from chat to stories specially recorded for the station.

Would you like to make a donation?

We hope so because as a registered charity, run entirely by volunteers, we need your help and every penny goes directly to help Coastway continue. This ensures that patients have the best experience possible during their stay, and families can stay in touch with requests and/or dedications, as well as commenting on the shows we produce. Every donation is gratefully received.

If you are not able to sponsor a program, donations are also well received. You can give money, or perhaps consider offering something that we could give as a prize in one of our raffles, or other fundraising event – for instance a bottle of wine, a meal to the value of a certain amount, a free something with purchase… anything that people would be willing to offer money to win. Anything you can give (other than the sweater granny knitted you when you were twelve with the sleeves that made you look like a woolly orangutan) will go to a very good cause.
