Global Charities is the Global group’s in-house charity. We’re passionate about music and entertainment, and how we can use that to make a difference in the communities in which we broadcast. Our work has two main strands:
‘Global’s Make Some Noise’ harnesses the power and reach of our brands to raise awareness and money, in order to help disadvantaged children and young people in the communities in which we broadcast. Each year we unite our friends in the music and entertainment business and our listeners to MAKE SOME NOISE and raise money to change young lives. We raise funds in a variety of ways including broadcast appeals, events, corporate partnerships, schools’ partnerships, treks, runs and digital. The ability to add radio sparkle to our fundraising mechanics makes us a unique and exciting charity.
Using our passion and expertise in music to provide training and opportunities for young people – We run ‘The Big Music Project’ (funded by the Big Lottery Fund) to help young people with employability skills and access opportunities in the creative industries.
