A new year bring fresh challenges with high hopes, new ideas and targets. Here are HCR104fm we are striving to improve our service to the community.

One of the ways we hope to do this is by continuing to support local charities, services and organisations.

Community Radio isn't just about playing music - although that remains as our core output - it's also about relaying what the community has to offer.

A recent charity we have supported is You Are Never Alone (YANA) a local

organisation offering mental health support for those working in rural communities who are experiencing depression or anxiety.

More information and confidential help on this deserving charity can be found by

emailing: helpline@yanahelp.org or by phoning: 0300 323 0400.

Our Charity of the Month for February is SERV. Since 2011 the volunteers of SERV

Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, also known as the Bloodrunners, have been providing a free essential service to our local NHS hospitals, air ambulance services, hospices, human donor milk banks and vulnerable patients by transporting blood, blood products, patient blood samples, medicines, medical equipment and donated human milk. 

Om May 6, our new monarch King Charles III will be crowned and we hope to be able to bring you some special programmes to mark this momentous occasion.

Only the more senior folks in our community will remember 1953 when Her Late Majesty was crowned, so 2023 will certainly be different but nonetheless just as memorable.

We will be out and about to celebrate what for most of us, will be our first coronation and we hope you will join us.

We welcome a new presenter to our schedule. Norfolk man Steve Kirman, a veteran hospital radio presenter in King's Lynn, joins us on our midnight show Into the Night on Thursday, from midnight to 2am.
