Cash for Kids Day, in partnership with Ulster Bank, has seen us all join together to help vulnerable families who really need us right now.

It’s been an incredibly tough year for us all. We’ve all had our own struggles to get through, and found our own ways to cope.

But imagine if you’d also spent the last year worrying about how you’re going to pay for your kids next meal, or for their next school uniform or something as basic as being able to pay for the heating or electricity at home.

That’s real life for so many, so we wanted to help. And your response has been phenomenal!

Whether you’ve dressed up, dressed down, held a virtual quiz, given something up, learnt a new skill, walked, run, cycled, swam or simply made a donation – THANK YOU! Seriously – THANK YOU – it makes such a difference.

And right now we want to tell you what you’ve all achieved together...

You’ve helped us raise an incredible £67,602. Wow! That is so so amazing.

And that means we’ll be helping 1,931 local kids who really need us right now.

Lauren Baxter, Charity Manager for Cash for Kids NI shared: "What a day it has been, our incredible listeners have done it again. They've blown us away and they have raised an absolute fortune! Thank you so so much if you donated, if you arranged a fundraising event, if you spoke to us as one of our beneficiaries, it's just incredible what we've all done together."

We said that together we could make great things happen – and thanks to you we really have.

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH
