Northern Ireland’s longest running commercial radio stations, Downtown Radio and
97.4 Cool FM, have launched a new charity ‘Cash for Kids,’ with the promise of hundreds
of thousands of pounds for disadvantaged local children.

 

Launching the new charity fund, Managing Director Mark Mahaffy said that it was 
important for corporate Northern Ireland to fulfil its social responsibilities:

“We intend to make an enormous difference to the lives of young people and we will
be working closely with other local companies to create spectacular fundraising 
events as well as providing a public platform for companies and communities to work
with us in raising these much needed funds.

 

Fundraising and giving will be ongoing throughout the year and we will be actively
encouraging young individuals, children’s charities and youth organisations to come
forward with requests for support that will benefit disadvantaged 0-17 year olds
that need our help.”
