PCRL's Photo Gallery 1987 PCRL Christmas Calender of our early staff A new copy of this photo found thanks to 'Alan' Click above small image to visit photo library Hummingbird Dale End (5th Birthday party) PCRL FUNDRAISERS P.C.R.L. radio had been going for 3 years  surviving only on what the staff themselves make at their shows (which sometimes is not very much). The aim of P.C.R.L. is to provide a free community radio station for the "forgotten" or "neglected" minorities, but nevertheless  time and time again members of the community come to P.C.R.L. for help and guidance with a variety of ventures and we at P.C.R.L. do as much as we possibly can to help.  Following the "children in need" appeal 'last year (1987), Crazy G from P.C.R.L. radio hit upon an idea to start an appeal with other P.C.R.L. staff, following further discussions Crazy G started a "toy" appeal, where members of the public sent in unwanted toys, which was a great success but last Christmas we decided to re-create the idea but this time donate money, the appeal was quite successful. Pledges from members of the public raised £400.00, we ourselves donated £600.00 from shows promoted throughout the year, and £1500.00 was donated by the joint sponsor of the appeal international singing star Freddie McGregor. Dr Prendagast a consultant psychiatrist at the Birmingham Children Hospital said the money would be used to buy equipment to assist in the treatment of the children and to train doctors in the treatment of children with psychiatric problems. There is a definite assurance the appeal would operate again this Christmas because we know the children hospital is in need of as much support as it can be given. Once again a big thanks to the public for making it work. Also P.C.R.L. in association with Marcus Garvey Foundation have launched an appeal for "Jamaican Hurricane Flood Disaster". £18,500 has been raised. Written by Baby Cat (1988)
