19 April 2017 – On Sunday 23rd April Radio Fox will be 29 years old!

This weekend sees the 29th Birthday of Radio Fox. By way of celebration there will be a weekend of live broadcasting and cake eating, not necessarily in that order. Presenters, pop stars, and fashions may have come and gone but even after all this time Radio Fox still delivers quality programming 24 hours a day, every day of the year, for the patients and staff of the Leicester Royal Infirmary and the Glenfield Hospital. And we do it as we have always done it. As volunteers.

Every member of Radio Fox donates their time, talent, and expertise for free. Always have and always will. We just love being here with you, we are your friend that never goes home.

Happy Birthday to Us.

28 March 2017 – The Radio Fox fundraising book and media sale will be held on Friday 31st March 2017.

Friday 31st March 2017 10am to 4pm
Come along and bag a bargain….  and meet some Radio Fox faces!

On Friday 31st March 2017 our next book and media sale will be held at The Glenfield Hospital main entrance to help Radio Fox raise funds for new equipment.  Come and buy books, vinyl, videos, CDs or DVDs.  Or if you have loads of books you would like to donate feel free to bring those along on the day.

Every penny raised will go into the fund to replace our ageing studio equipment.

Radio Fox receives no official funding from any source.  We are raising funds to buy new studio equipment so that we can continue to broadcast to the patients of the Leicester Royal Infirmary and The Glenfield Hospital.

Radio Fox is run by a dedicated team of 20 or so volunteers and is funded entirely by member’s subscriptions, donations from the public, the generosity of local business, and the continuous fundraising activities of its members.  Radio Fox is staffed totally by unpaid volunteers.

10 March 2017 – As an aid to recruitment Leicestershire Fire Service are hosting ‘Have A Go’ days, where you can have a taster of what it is like to be a firefighter.  You can also find out what tests you need to be a firefighter.

By the end of April Leicestershire Fire Service will have hosted 26 ‘Have a Go’ days in total, with 3 currently, being solely female lead and the remainder being open to everyone.  Ideally they want to attract more women into the fire service; however we welcome anyone and everyone who wishes to apply.
