Southampton Hospital Radio have have been broadcasting to the patients of Southampton continuously since October 1952. Affiliated to the Hospital Broadcasting Association and Serving the Southampton General and Princess Anne Hospitals, we provide patient entertainment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All of the members of the Southampton Hospital Broadcasting Association (SHBA) were proud to be awarded the Queens Award for Voluntary Service on the 2nd June 2012. It was football that started it all in 1952. Since then, we have covered every home match since 1952. The first live transmissions were from a damp smelly former wine cellar under the Toc H building at the top of The Avenue. A complete programme service came out of there, including newscasts, childrens programmes and outside broadcast coverage of the Carnival. The regular request programmes flourished and a record library of 78s and 45s started.In August 1971, we moved above ground to a two studio building, but 7 years later we had to move again. We were granted a 21 year lease on a piece of land. More serious fundraising was again required to build the studio complex, opened in 1980.Just ten years later, Tesco wanted our piece of land to use as the entrance for their new store. This led to them building and fitting out a new Studio Centre, and we started broadcasting on 12th December 1993.Our last show at this site was on the 13th November 2015, before we moved seamlessly to our new home at Normand House, Tremona Road and without a break in transmission started our next chapter.

About St. Paul’s Withington St Paul's (Church of England) is a friendly, inclusive worshipping community where we can explore our faith, experience God's love and find a sense of belonging. Located in the centre of Withington in South Manchester, St. Paul’s draws members both from the parish and from further afield and includes people of all ages and from a range of backgrounds. We are active in the local community with a programme of events for people of all ages, including concerts, children’s activities, community dinners, and we host clubs, societies, and charitable organisations in our parish hall. Gisela and Anne’s Sabbatical Pilgrimage: In May, I will be setting out from the St Paul’s to Holy Island (Lindisfarne), along the Pennine Way and the St. Cuthbert’s Way. I’ll be walking with the Revd Anne Pilkington, our friend from Christ Church, West Didsbury. This is a beautiful route, but a tough one. Over the course of 25 days, we’ll climb over 12,000 metres (while Mount Everest is a mere 8,848 meters high). The route covers: 320 miles, 249 stiles, 204 bridges, 287 gates, plus avoiding assorted wildlife. The final stretch involves a barefoot pilgrimage across the tidal causeway off the coast of Northumberland to reach Holy Island. We’ve been training for this over the last few months, spending our weekends out in the cold, rain (and sometimes sun), racking up the miles, traversing bogs and honing our compass reading skills. We have decided to do this as a sponsored walk. I will be raising money for the refurbishment of our kitchen in the parish Hall, so we can get it ready for our new project with L’Arche. The project will involve people with and without learning disabilities working together to prepare and serve meals, a wonderful way to bring people together and build community. Money donated through this online link will be split equally between St Paul's and L'Arche Manchester. The Revd Gisela Raines
