A HAMPSHIRE radio station has raised thousands for a children’s hospice thanks to the superhuman efforts of its listeners.

Wave 105 Cash for Kids raised £15,568 in aid of Naomi House Children’s Hospice, with businesses, organisations and schools along the south coast organising a Superhero Day to raise money for disadvantaged children.

The total was announced on Rick Jackson’s Breakfast Show this week.

Samantha Tanner, charity manager of Cash for Kids, said: “Many organisations supported the annual event by holding bake sales and wearing their best superhero outfits to the office, tights and all.

“The money raised will be donated to Naomi House Children’s Hospice to put towards a hydrotherapy suite, which offers families the chance to use the pool when they may not otherwise have had the opportunity.”

In the Wave 105 studio, staff and presenters also organised their own Superhero Day by wearing their superhero outfits throughout the day, including presenter Gary Parker who went to work dressed as Superman.
