From time to time, people say nice things about us. We really appreciate them, and we'd like to share them with you.

 

Freda, former patient in Margaret Harte Ward:

Just a quick line to say thanks and goodbye.  You have helped the year pass quickly.  I am moving to rehab in Hertfordshire. 

Sorry I never got round to visiting your studio – good luck!

 

Mike Solomons (Founder Member) on the occasion of our 45th birthday:

I think you should all know I'm intensely proud of Radio Brockley and its achievements, and especially at the way it seems still to value hard work by skilled volunteers so highly.  As I have said in the past - well done!

 

Barry Cobden (Founder Member) on the occasion of our 45th birthday:

Have listened to the online recording and it brought back some memories.

Congratulations and best wishes for all you’ve done.
 
 

Ian Downs (Founder Member) on the occasion of our 45th birthday:

Many thanks for the opportunity to be involved in the 45th anniversary of the station. I feel extremely honoured. Little did we know all those years ago that RB would still be running.
 
A big happy birthday to Radio Brockley, you have reached middle age!
 

Husain Akhtar (Local Councillor, Canons Ward):

As a local councillor I have come across many residents who highly praise the Radio Brockley for its excellent service to the users of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore.

It is wonderful that the station, visited by celebrities like Sir Cliff Richard, is run entirely by unpaid volunteers who have been providing a superb radio service to patients at the RNOH.

Not only this but the volunteers have helpfully raised very useful funds through activities such as raffles at the festive times. Very well done Radio Brockley!

 

Nick from Shoreham-by-Sea (ex patient):

Thank you very much for having me!  Thanks to everyone. Best wishes.

 

Sue Walker (ex patient):

My name is Sue Walker. I just wanted to send and congratulate you on your HBA gold award for your 2011 special event. I have just been listening to the recording which is brilliant.

In 1974, I spent eight and a half weeks in RNOH at Stanmore where I had a chiari operation (the pelvis was cut to make the socket deeper as a result of dislocated hips). My surgeon was Mr. Catterall. I am e-mailing you as it was the hospital radio which kept me going during that long time in hospital. I used to love the Sunday Bingo sessions and when I came out of plaster after six weeks and started to learn to walk again the rest of the ward had 'These boots are made for walkin' by Nancy Sinatra played for me. My name then was Susan Blake and I was 22.

I now live in Weston-super-Mare. As a result of my experience in Stanmore I have become involved with Sunshine Hospital Radio at Weston-super-Mare General Hospital. In fact, I am now in my second year as Chairman.

I just wanted to send congratulations and thanks as I don't think I would be doing this if I had not had such a positive experience of Hospital Radio.

 

Anastasia and her Mum:

Thank you so much for the beautiful songs you played for us!  What you are doing is very important for the patients.

We will never forget you and the happy hours with "Bedside Bingo".  God bless you all!!

 

Mrs T from Romford, on her "Say So" form: 

Every week they (the ward reps) come round, full of enthusiasm. They always play our requests on Thursdays, as they know a lot of patients finish their treatment on Fridays, and they really boost us. 

Keep up the fantastic work. Thank you.
