NLive Radio receives over 1300 presents for its 2024 Christmas Present Appeal

Over 1,300 presents have been donated to the NLive Radio Christmas Present appeal 2024.

This is the third year the Northampton local radio station has run the appeal, and the amount received has increased this year by over 20%.

The presents, worth an estimated £6,500, have been distributed to four partner local charities to go to those in need.

Station Manager Martin Steers said: “I’m blown away by the generosity of Northampton, and am thankful to all those who have donated to this year’s appeal, I also want to thank all our donation locations, and our sponsor The Duston School without which our appeal wouldn’t be possible”.

The presents ranged from baby items, toiletries, and toys and gifts for all ages.

Tracey Hamilton, Charity Manager at one of the places to benefit, Spring Charity said, “I am overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of NLive radio listeners who have been so generous with donations of gifts! Our families will be so relieved that they can select a gift for their child and ensure there is a special present under the tree this year. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
