Show Notes
The total raised by the Evening Standard’s Winter Survival Appeal in partnership with Comic Relief has swelled to £2.4 million - thanks to a final surge in public donations to £200,000.
With one million children in extreme poverty and at severe risk of being inadequately fed, clothed or kept warm this winter, the funds raised have been hailed by struggling charities and parents as a lifesaver, providing food and essentials to families in crisis.
You can hear much more about some of the 20 outstanding charities and social enterprises being funded in this episode.
The Standard podcast’s joined for a special episode by our campaigns editor David Cohen.
