We support brilliant, small charities across the UK, which help youngsters and their families living with illness, disability or lack of opportunity. These charities struggle to get heard, so we unite some the biggest radio stations in the UK and their listeners, to give them a voice and raise money to support their amazing work.

Since our launch in 2014, we’ve raised nearly nearly £7 million, and supported 135 incredible charities and projects around the UK, helping them to provide life-changing support and vital services, that otherwise simply might not be available.

In 2017, we gave out £2.2million in grants to small charities, which will help provide over 92,000 hours of support to almost 15,000 children and young people over the next two years.

Money from Global’s Make Some Noise will fund a whole range of vital activities and services at the projects – including 7,716 hours of vital mentoring for disadvantaged youngsters, 2,574 music therapy sessions for children who might otherwise struggle to communicate, 7,784 hours of much-needed support for young carers, and so much more.

But that’s not all. We know that these amazing causes can often get overlooked, so we shine the spotlight on them by giving them a voice and raising awareness through Global’s much-loved brands.

We also lend our expertise through a series of masterclasses in areas such as digital, sales and marketing. So, in the future, the projects can make more noise themselves.

Hell to live with” and children with the condition live in constant pain associated with the burn like wounds that occur. The intense pain and repeated damage leads to progressive disability and severe forms are life shortening due to a malignant skin cancer that develops in early adulthood. There is now real hope of treatments and even a cure for RDEB and the Sohana Research Fund aims to help translate positive findings rapidly to the clinic. SRF is primarily investing in cell and gene therapy research and have just funded a world first gene therapy trial in adults.
