2025 partnership highlights

2025 has been an incredible year of impact, and we’re so proud to have partnered with amazing businesses, helping us to change lives across the UK. Here’s just some of the brilliant collaborations...

Winter Partnerships:

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland partnered with us for the second-year running. Heart’s Toby Anstis performed a DJ set at their star-studded VIP Preview Night, and our charities enjoyed a magical day out at Winter Wishes ❄️

We received heart-warming feedback from our charity, Stepping Stones, who shared just how much the experience meant to their families. Laura said: “Opportunities like this are rare for us. The quieter environment and reduced crowds meant the children could truly enjoy the space, the atmosphere, and the rides in a way that simply wouldn’t be possible on a regular day. It allowed them to get into the Christmas spirit in a setting that felt safe, calm, and magical. The sense of inclusion meant more than we can properly express.”

Shaftesbury Capital built on last year’s Carnaby Street partnership by helping us bring festive magic to both Carnaby Street and Covent Garden. Pandora Christie and Anna Whitehouse helped switch on the Covent Garden Christmas lights, and listeners were given the chance to win the ultimate West End prize 🎄

2025 Appeal Partnerships:

To celebrate Disney’s Hercules coming to the West End, Heart Breakfast took on four epic Herculean challenges. Ashley Roberts abseiled Spinnaker Tower, Jamie Theakston was suspended 60m in the air, Pandora featured in Disney’s Hercules, and Amanda Holden endured a pit of snakes live on air! 💪

Grado, Heart Scotland Breakfast presenter, cycled over 400 kilometres from Aberdeen to Glasgow – not with his legs, but with his hands! Over five days, Grado powered a handbike for 75–100 km per day, supported by Digby Brown. This marks Digby Brown’s second year partnering with Global’s Make Some Noise 🚲

Kem Cetinay played an incredible 24-hour game of padel at Canary Wharf’s Padium in London, taking on padel pros, celebrity friends and Capital listeners, plus a few surprise competitors along the way. This challenge was proudly supported by Pure Gym 🎾

Finally, Furniture Village supported our entire appeal and truly championed the power of community. A long-standing partner of Global’s Make Some Noise, Furniture Village continues to play a pivotal role in helping us fund vital local projects and give a voice to those who need it most 🛋️

Purpose-Led Partnerships:

Earlier this year, we partnered with Vinterior – leaders in pre-loved, vintage and reclaimed furniture – to bring new life to homes while helping the planet. The cross-brand campaign ran on Classic FM and included a Brand-a-View on LBC 🌿

We also partnered with giffgaff on an Ad Net Zero, purpose-led campaign addressing the UK’s growing e-waste challenge, with millions of unused mobile phones being discarded or left in drawers. The campaign ran on Radio X and Capital XTRA, and aimed to promote conscious consumption by highlighting the environmental benefits of choosing refurbished phones and responsibly recycling old devices through giffgaff recycle 📱
