Cornwall’s Rewind Radio raised nearly £26k from its Radiothon for local charity.
MD Richard Woods stayed on air for a mammoth 48 hours, raising funds for three charities – HD Livin’, Cornwall Hospice Care and Penhaligon’s Friends.
Sponsored by Andrew Davenport of Focus Technology in Redruth and Reuben Jenkins from Carers Break CIC, the Radiothon captivated the Cornwall community, with over 40 items auctioned and more than 20 items available in an online raffle.
Woods said: “One word can be used to describe this event – overwhelming. I’ve been through every emotion and days later it still hasn’t sunk in. The support of my wife, children, and family, the entire team at Cornwall’s Rewind Radio, Shane Solomon from Corker Media who streamed the event, every business who sponsored the event or donated to the auction and raffle, and listeners who supported us is something I can never thank enough.”
The JustGiving link remains open for donations for those who still wish to contribute – JustGiving Radiothon 2024.
