Global’s Make Some Noise has raised more than £2.7 million for small and local charities in a day of special programming across Heart, Capital, Classic FM, Smooth, LBC, Radio X, Capital Dance, Capital XTRA and Gold.
The money raised will deliver vital life support programmes with funds going to 100 charities in local communities across the UK that provide support for people living with mental and physical health issues, debt, homelessness, and hunger.
Here are just some of the activities:
In aid of the charity’s ninth appeal, Heart Breakfast’s Amanda Holden took on the monumental ‘Three Peaks Challenge’ and successfully climbed the highest mountains in Wales, England and Scotland (Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis) within 24 hours.
And a big thank you to the team @TalkTalk for their donations and support to @AmandaHolden on her #Amanda3Peaks. All smiles at the top of Ben Nevis 😃 pic.twitter.com/irWomsmPHI

Elsewhere, Chris Moyles and his Radio X breakfast team made themselves available for a brunch at The Dilly for one lucky listener. They’re also giving away a guitar signed by the Manic Street Preachers’ James Dean Bradfield and a 20th anniversary edition of Oasis album ‘Be Here Now’ signed by Liam Gallagher.
Classic FM raised money via its ‘Big Birthday Bake’ and a limited edition 30th birthday mug.
Other Global presenters joined in to support the company’s fundraising efforts and they too donned fancy dress.
It’s all gone very Grease👍😂

“Times have been extremely tough for these charities over the last few years, so now, more than ever, it’s been fantastic to be able to give them a voice and share just some of the inspiring work they’re doing. Listeners have been so generous and have showed support for Global’s Make Some Noise in brilliant ways. From baking cakes, to scaling mountains, raising £2.7m in such uncertain times is an incredible achievement. A big thank you from me too.”
