What a day!
Thanks to the fabulous generosity of listeners and supporters, the fifth Make Some Noise appeal has raised a staggering £4,198,678. Right across the country, schools and workplaces dressed loud and held events from bake offs to bingo, from discos to dog shows.
Global’s radio brands Smooth, Heart, Capital, Capital XTRA, Classic FM, LBC, Radio X and Gold united for the day to raise money for small charities that help disadvantaged children, young people and their families across the UK living with illness, disability or lack of opportunity.
Throughout the day on Friday (October 5), Global’s all-star presenter line-up, including Smooth's Myleene Klass, all made some noise for disadvantaged children and young people by giving small charities a platform to tell their story on air to Global’s 25 million listeners.
