The funding provides a vital lifeline in communities, tackling local needs – from food banks to befriending projects for the elderly and isolated, cancer wellbeing programmes to domestic abuse refuges, from employment opportunities to physical and speech therapy for people with disabilities.    

Over the next year, the funds distributed by Global’s Make Some Noise will provide support to over 27,000 people across the UK through essential services including:     

  • 12,465 counselling sessions across a range of support services including providing practical support to 164 parents that have experienced baby loss as well as 1:1 sessions for stroke survivors, and male and female survivors of domestic abuse.
