Graham added that Conquest Hospital Radio has recruited three new presenters this year with two more returning after a break and two more in training alongside a new technical assistant.

He said: “Having this arrangement with Hastings United Football Club is a great addition for our listeners and a great boost to our team of volunteers. It emphasises just how much a community minded town Hastings is.”
