Here’s what happened at Mission Christmas HQ 

Mission Christmas is 鶹ýPorn’s Cash for Kids biggest campaign of the year and aims to help the one in three children living in poverty across the UK have a happy Christmas.

Last week some of our favourite radio shows broadcast live from Manchester’s Mission Christmas HQ warehouse, where thousands of presents are being delivered, packed and sent to children who need them most.

Here’s everything that went down:

Magic Breakfast

Harriet Scott was joined by McFly’s Harry Judd to start the day with some Mission Christmas cheer. The pair got a tour of the warehouse, welcomed Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham and were serenaded by the iconic Rock Choir.

Andy Burnham said: “Who wants any child to wake up without a present to open on Christmas day. We’ve got 1 in 3 children living in poverty in the UK…we just want every young person to feel a bit of joy on Christmas day and have something new that they can feel proud and positive about”

Throughout the day there were deliveries of toys large and small. From locals dropping by a handful of presents they’ve personally donated, to B&M delivering a literal truck of supplies for young people in need across the UK.

Next up on air was Hits Radio’s Tom Green 

Broadcasting to millions, Tom spoke with the people who keep Mission Christmas running and some of the beneficiaries that Cash For Kids work with on their Mission Christmas appeal. Tom also enlisted a local cheer group, who provided energy for the all the volunteers – and even got involved in the cheerleading himself…

Kate Thornton on Greatest Hits Radio brought her lunchtime show to Mission Christmas HQ 

Kate had Sir Andy Murray join the show, to talk about the importance of Mission Christmas… and how he eats sushi on Christmas Day instead of turkey! Kate’s show raised thousands of pounds in donations from her generous listeners.

Rounding out an amazing day of on-air action, Absolute Radio’s Bush & Richie brought their hometime show live from Manchester

The boys tried their hand at the classic parent’s Christmas Eve challenge – putting toys together in record time. They also spoke with volunteers, beneficiaries and tried their hand at driving a forklift… well, almost.

So far Mission Christmas has ensured 142,420 children across the UK will wake up with a gift under the tree, however they still have applications to fulfil for 142,724 children. With your help they could still complete the Mission!
