BBC Radio 4 Appeal to feature the DSM Foundation

We are delighted to announce that we are going to be on the BBC Radio 4 Appeal! This is an amazing opportunity for us as a charity to reach new people and raise a significant amount of money, particularly as we have £12,000 of matched funding available. 

 

As the founder and director of the charity, and importantly Dan’s mum, Fiona is perfectly placed to explain why and how the DSM Foundation delivers drugs education, and the impact that this has on young people and the adults in their lives. 

 

Grace McCormack, DSM Foundation Corporate and Community Fundraiser, commented: “It is a huge privilege for the DSM Foundation to be featured on the BBC Radio 4 Appeal. Not only will it raise awareness of the issues faced by young people when it comes to drugs, but also the work we do to support them to make safer choices, through all aspects of our provision including workshops for students and the adults in their lives, and the play that tells Dan’s story [‘I Love You, Mum – I Promise I Won’t Die’ by award winning playwright Mark Wheeller]. We are grateful for the opportunity and hope it will raise valuable funds to support the drugs education work we do – and we are so grateful to the generosity of a group of supporters who have agreed to match fund £12,000 of donations that come in this way.” 

 

Our BBC Radio 4 Appeal is scheduled for Sunday, 3rd November and will run for a week. Broadcast times are 7:54am and 9:25pm on that Sunday, and then again at 3:26pm on Thurs, 7th November. The details are all on the BBC Radio 4 website at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qnc7/broadcasts/upcoming, and it will also be featured on BBC Sounds – why not type Radio 4 Appeal into the search engine and then bookmark it to listen to once it has gone live?
