Switch Radio Launches 

"Be A Good Egg" 

Campaign to Help Local Children

Switch Radio is teaming up with local children's charities to ensure that underprivileged children and kids in hospitals receive an Easter egg this year. Our campaign, titled Be A Good Egg, encourages the community to get involved by donating Easter eggs at designated drop-off points across various locations.

YOU CAN DONATE HERE

For those who prefer to contribute financially, donations can be made via the campaign’s Go Fund me page. Full details, including drop-off locations and how to donate, can be found on the Switch Radio website.

Join us in spreading some Easter joy—Be A Good Egg and help make a difference! 

You can donate at our Go Fund Me page here. 

Or you can drop off your Chocolate Eggs at Spitfire House, 10 High Street, Castle Vale, Birmingham B35 7PR, or at Morrison's Sheldon or The Ashmore Inn or Josiah Mason College or Solihull College & University Centre

Ronald McDonald House Charities UK is an independent Charity, which operates 14 Houses across England, Wales, and Scotland, providing free 'home away from home' accommodation and support. The Houses keep families together, close to their children in hospital. They provide a place to sleep, cook and retain some sense of normal life; a lifeline for families at a very stressful time, especially when they are far from home. Ronald McDonald House Birmingham, at Birmingham Children's Hospital, is one of the Charity's largest purpose-built accommodation facilities. As well as providing 66 ensuite bedrooms, the Birmingham House offers families the opportunity to cook and eat together and to share their experiences. The House also has a communal lounge, kitchen and play area for families visiting the hospital for the day.
