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.

Stormzy gave listeners the chance to attend and meet him at his next UK tour date, as did Ed Sheeran and Robbie Williams. Whilst, Little Mix gave Capital listeners the chance to join them for an exclusive video chat in aid of Global’s Make Some Noise.

Global’s radio presenters also donated a range of prizes; Heart Breakfast Showbiz presenter and Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts gave away the chance to win a virtual dance tutorial; Heart Breakfast’s Amanda Holden donated her iconic ‘Heart Make Me a Millionaire’ bespoke money ballgown dress. A virtual cookery class courtesy of Heart’s Kelly Brook was on offer, as was a virtual cocktail making class with Spencer Matthews and Heart’s Vogue Williams, a virtual fitness class with Heart’s Mark Wright and even a virtual gardening tutorial from Classic FM’s Alan Titchmarsh.

On Heart Breakfast, Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden urged their 4.1m weekly listeners to get behind fundraising heroes from small charities around the country.
