With nine teams battling out for pub quiz champions, Radio Northwick Park members gathered at The Travellers Rest in Kenton on Saturday, 21st April.

And after a heated competition and a raffle, which included a year’s membership for Spotify and John Lewis gift vouchers, the charity celebrated raising £390.

Fundraising Officer Dan Cotrell said: “It was a packed pub quiz and great to see everyone’s competitive spirit. There was lots of banter, laughter and funds raised.”

All the proceeds will be going to Radio Northwick Park to maintain the station’s equipment and facilities.

Volunteers spent Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 April at Sainsbury’s in Kenton raising funds and awareness for the charity. All the money raised will go towards the running of the charity and projects to benefit the patients within the hospital.

With over 25 volunteers spread across the weekend and £972, Fundraising Officer Dan Cottrell was “thrilled” with the amount raised.

He said: “This weekend was a chance for us to raise awareness of the work Radio Northwick Park does and our volunteers love meeting members of the community.

“I would like to thank the public for their support in raising a phenomenal amount of money. We are incredibly happy with the amount.”

The awards, which reward programmes and projects that benefit young people, have been presented to Radio Northwick Park volunteers since 2008.

Volunteers Coordinator Jade Wight said: “The visit was a great opportunity to show the Jack Petchey Foundation the impact that their donations have made on Radio Northwick Park, and the benefit this has had to our younger volunteers”.

Charles Biggie’s ‘Thirty-three and a Third’ advert picked up the bronze award at the national awards, which are hosted by Hospital Broadcasting Association.

Charles, who created the advert with the help of fellow volunteer Ben Punter, said: “This is the first award I have ever won and it feels fantastic. And credit goes to Ben who put the entry together.”

The ceremony, which brings together hospital radio stations form across the country, was held in Northampton on Saturday, 31st March.

Charles, who has been a volunteer for over 28 years, said: “It was a lovely ceremony and everyone had a good old boogie at the end of the night.”

Looking ahead, Charles is looking to enter more awards in the future.

He said: “Winning this award has certainly boosted my confidence and I hope to enter for more awards in the future.”

The competition asked AOL employees to submit a non-profit organisation which they cared about.

Chairman Matt Blank, who entered the competition, said: “It’s great to see companies reward the charities that their employees care about.”

In addition to $5,000, Radio Northwick Park will appear on the AOL homepage for one day and feature on news website The Huffington Post.

Matt said: “We hope the exposure AOL will bring us will attract new volunteers to our organisation and help more people around the UK understand the work that we and all hospital radio stations do.”

Radio Northwick Park will put the funds towards the refurbishment of its second studio.

The judges based their winner on personal connection to the organisation, future plans and how $5,000 would impact the charity.

The station has revamped and refreshed its website, Facebook and Twitter. The new website shares all the latest news and photos from the charity’s events and has also introduced a blogging feature for the volunteers and people in the local community.

Chairman Matt Blank believes the changes will “spread the word about the good work our volunteers of over 120 people do.”

He said: “There’s been lots of ‘under the bonnet’ work done, but other big changes include the presentation of the homepage and news articles, with richer media and graphics and a re-write of most of the content on the site.

“We’ve also introduced blogs and I hope as this area grows many interesting articles will be read and shared among our users. It’s not just limited to Radio Northwick Park, but broader genres including music, health and the community.”

The charity, which celebrated its 40th anniversary last year, is also looking for members of the community to become guest bloggers.

Matt said: “We’re looking at internal and external writers to produce interesting and engaging articles for us. If you would like to contribute to this section, please contact Heena our Press Officer on the contact page.”

Volunteers graced shoppers at St Anns Shopping Centre with live shows throughout the day on Saturday, 18th February 2012. The money raised will go towards the running of the station.

Sunday night volunteer Charles Biggie, who presents a show at Radio Northwick Park twice a week, said he was “elated” with all the money raised.

He said: “I was presenting the show this weekend, and we managed to raise £360, which was incredible. We spoke to shoppers and everyone loved it.

“I had a great day meeting people in the shopping centre, and knowing it was for a good cause made it all the better for me.”

Fundraising Officer Dan Cottrell said: “The atmosphere in Harrow was great and I can’t thank the public enough for digging deep in their pockets.

Mark Sedgwick, who has been a volunteer for just under a year, won the Jack Petchey award, last week.

The Jack Petchey Foundation rewards programmes and projects that benefit young people.

Volunteers Coordinator Jade Wight said: “Mark has only been a volunteer at Radio Northwick Park for a little under a year, but he has already proved himself to be an invaluable and popular member of the team.

“Mark is a dedicated volunteer, an excellent request collector and a popular presenter.  Mark exemplifies what a RNP member should do and how they should act and is well deserving of this award.”
