This Saturday, Station Manager Jake will be live for 24 hours to raise awareness and money in aid of Student Minds - The UK's student mental health charity with the aim of transforming the state of student mental health in the UK for the better.

Throughout the time, Jake will be joined by a whole range of our presenters covering a range of music and topics, all with a spotlight on student mental health. The link to donate https://linktr.ee/surfradiofal?fbclid=PAAabdFt8oWnxf4BojLBufEhfmwZQwl7dRWjiyKJNPRWIMJMkVana3w_-AmfE we urge you to give what you can.

We also know times are tough, thanks to the cost of living crisis, so if you cannot afford to donate, we would really appreciate it if you could tune in during the challenge to help us spread awareness of the mental health crisis affecting students and the work Student Minds do. Please also tell your friends and family.
