Global's Make Some Noise Emergency Appeal

Global’s Make Some Noise, Smooth's charity, has so far raised £1,711,241 for those hit hardest by coronavirus in our communities.

Global’s Make Some Noise launched an Emergency Appeal to raise money for small charities helping those experiencing grief, poverty, domestic abuse, loneliness, illness and mental health problems, as well as carers and care workers. The Emergency Appeal Week took place last week featuring a range of special fundraising activities.

Last week, listeners across Global’s radio stations were given opportunities to win some spectacular prizes. Ed Sheeran, Tony Hadley and Robbie Williams gave away tickets, and there were also giveaways for the likes of Lewis Capaldi and Freya Ridings.

Chris Martin, Olly Murs and Gary Barlow were just some of the artists who backed the Appeal and donated prizes to Global’s Make Some Noise charity auction.

Our presenters also donated a range of prizes, including Smooth's Myleene Klass, Angie Greaves and Tina Hobley.

"Together, we have raised a phenomenal amount so far but these charities will continue to need our support in the months ahead as demand for their services grows further. The pandemic has had an unprecedented effect on our communities, but we can support those in need by helping small charities continue their critical work.”

Global’s Make Some Noise Emergency Appeal is still open to donate.

Since its launch, Global’s Make Some Noise has raised over £20 million for incredible charities and projects. Global’s Make Some Noise Emergency Appeal is supported by HSBC UK.
