CareSound Radio

CareSound Radio is the broadcasting name of Hospital Radio Perth, with an audience that includes people receiving care in several different settings. Requests can be made for individuals, care homes and sheltered housing, reflecting an approach that reaches beyond the hospital ward. Its Perth identity remains central as the organisation works with listeners and local groups across Perth and Kinross.

The Monday Reset, presented by Nicky Foley, addresses the experiences of people caring for others. This programme adds a specific carers' perspective to the music and dedications. The broadcaster also works with the Centre for Inclusive Living Perth and Kinross, using its community relationships to give space to local charitable activity and the people involved in it.

Georgie Williams and John Watson present care-home requests, while DJ Ally Bongo brings choices from Upper Springland into the programme. Brian Whyte's Whyte's, Camera and Action! explores music from stage and screen, and Peter Fairhead hosts The Country Hour. Aiden Spark's Rocking the Road supplies a guitar-led drive-time selection. Short stories and poems in Bookmark offer a quieter end to the day, complementing the station's requests and its many different musical interests.

CareSound's volunteers contribute presented programmes, request services and recorded editions available through CareSound Replay. The organisation received the King's Award for Voluntary Service in 2024, recognising the work behind its broadcasts. Its combination of personal music choices, care-related conversation and local partnerships gives the service an identity rooted in participation rather than a single musical genre.
