Cotswolds Radio Raises £2,500 for Local Causes in a Stellar Charity Event
NORTHLEACH, GLOUCESTERSHIRE – On Monday, 11 November 2024, Cotswolds Radio hosted a successful charity event that raised an impressive £2,500 for two local causes. The funds will be evenly split between supporting the non-profit operations of the radio station and contributing to Kate’s Home Nursing, a vital charity that provides palliative care at home for the terminally ill.
The recent 24 Hour Live broadcast, organized by Cotswolds Radio, saw generous contributions from the community through an online auction for donated prizes. The event highlighted the power of local collaboration, proving once again that when the Cotswolds comes together, amazing things can happen.
Half of the total amount raised will be invested into Cotswolds Radio to fund new equipment, ensuring the station can continue to grow its reach and enhance its programming. The other £1,250 will go directly to Kate’s Home Nursing, supporting their important work in offering professional and compassionate care for people at the end of their lives.
Kim Lynch, a representative for Cotswolds Radio, expressed their gratitude to the community for their support and generosity, stating, “We are thrilled with the success of our charity event and are thankful to everyone who contributed. This event would not have been possible without the support of our listeners, volunteers, and sponsors. We are proud to be able to make a difference in the lives of local people.”
