Elaine Kaye, Community Fundraising Manager for the NSPCC said: “I would like to thank Sunrise Radio for choosing the NSPCC as their charity for this wonderful event.”

“As well as being an exciting and glamorous event, the funds raised will play a vital role in making sure we’re able to reach even more vulnerable children when they need us the most – whether it’s through Childline, our Helpline, in schools or one of our therapeutic service centres.”

Raj Parmar, Director of Marketing & Events at Sunrise Radio (Yorkshire) said “It is so wonderful to reach our 28^th birthday and our heartfelt thanks go out to staff past and present, our advertisers and of course the listeners who make it all possible.”

“We wanted to celebrate this year with a special Winter Asian Ball to really underline how far the station has come. I am so pleased we were able to not only enjoy the festivities but also raise vital funds for the NSPCC.”
