Stoke Mandeville Hospital Radio - Treasurer

Stella Withey

My name is Stella Withey I was born in Chesham and moved to Aylesbury in the 80's.I joined Stoke Mandeville Hospital radio in 1989.

Along with Dave Gamage, we broadcast on Friday evenings
from 6-7 pm with The Magazine Show and from 7-8 pm with My Kind Of Country, a show for country music lovers, playing old and new tracks from Nashville including the current number one.

Once a month I present 'Kids Zone'
a show where the entire requests come from the children's ward. My producers on this show are 4 local children who have become involved because they want to help the patients have a nicer time when they are in hospital, They are Olivier, Torri, Curtis, and Aimee, They produce the show and fill it with stories, film reviews and even the odd joke.

I have recently become involved in another project with Dez Kay, we have been picked by The Waterside Theatre to go along to shows and events as 'press officers' and review the shows. This has taken us to events we would not normally have considered, it's great fun and recently we interviewed Henry Winkler.

This is my 4th year of organising our charity golf day which this year will be held at 'The Oxfordshire' near Thame on the 27th September. The event is supported by lots of local companies and last year we raised £9000 (before expenditure)

I am married to Mark Withey who is also a presenter at Stoke Mandeville Hospital Radio and we do it because we believe the radio station is a vital part of the hospital
