Christmas fundraising campaigns by 14 Emap radio stations have raised £1.5 million
to help underprivileged children.

Toys valued at over £500,000 were collected in England and distributed to over 10,000
youngsters across the country in time for Christmas.

In Scotland, Radios Clyde, Forth, Tay, Moray Firth, Northsound, and South West Sound,
teamed up to raise funds for their local, children’s charities.

Dawn Gibson, Marketing and Communications Director for Emap Radio Charities, said:“
Some of these individual charities like the Radio Clyde Cash for kids Appeal or 
TFM Radio’s ‘Make a Child Smile Charity’ have been fundraising for over 20 years
and really have become part of the sprit of Christmas in those areas… It is important
to note that all money raised locally stays locally.

“We work very closely with organisations such as social services to identify the
families and children who are most in need of receiving gifts at Christmas and it
really is heart-warming to see the difference something so small can make to their
lives”.
