This Sunday, 4 of our fantastic presenters will be taking part in the Big Hospital Walk!

They will be raising money for Radio Calderdale, to help us keep delivering fantastic entertainment for the patients of the Calderdale Royal Hospital and those beyond.

It would be very much appreciated if you could donate and spur them on for the walk!

We will be broadcasting whilst the walk is happening, hopefully checking in with our walkers and people they meet along the way.

Tune in on Sunday morning via the app, the Radio Calderdale website, or asking Alexa to play Radio Calderdale.
