Scores of children's charities benefit from £800,000 windfall

More than 100 charities that support children and young people have been awarded grants from a pot worth more than £800,000.

The charities, which support children and young people who may have been affected by illness, disability, bereavement or lack of opportunity will use the funding to improve the lives of young people.
 
The cash has been raised by national charity Make Some Noise which was launched last August by media and entertainment company Global, which owns radio stations including Capital FM, Heart and Classic FM, with the aim of helping disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.

The charity reached out to listeners of the stations and raised a total of £812,857.

Children's bereavement charity Winston’s Wish is among the charities to receive a grant, gaining £5,000.
