Radio Express Partners with Make-A-Wish UK

Radio Express is delighted to announce today a partnership with Make-A-Wish UK to help magical wishes come true this holiday season. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of Radio Express’ “Christmas Day with Santa” syndicated program will be donated to Make-A-Wish UK to help grant wishes for children in the UK with critical and life-threatening illness. 

Christmas Day with Santa features 3 hours of festive classic Christmas favorites for holiday goers of any age to enjoy and lends itself nicely to the Make-A-Wish mission of creating life-changing experiences that revive the childhood of critically ill children.  

Jason Suckley, Chief Executive of Make-A-Wish UK, commented, “When a child like Isla is diagnosed with a critical condition, the joy of childhood is brought to an abrupt end with treatment plans, hospital appointments and worry taking over. The power of a wish brings light and joy to children and their loved ones. For more information please visit www.make-a-wish.org.uk/ today.”

Christmas Day With Santa was first launched in 2008 and is now entering its fourteenth year on-air. It is offered to radio stations at an affordable fee and aims to encourage young listeners to discover the magic of radio by imagining Santa hosting his very own show after a busy night delivering their presents.

“We are thrilled to support the amazing work of Make-A-Wish with our Christmas Day With Santa radio show,” added Radio Express CEO, Paul Hollins. “It seems the perfect way to share the spirit of the season and the generosity & goodwill of our client stations who support the show. This year we will be distributing proceeds raised by the show to this wonderful charity.”
