Radio1's local hero campaign kick-starts at Sue Ryder

20 April 2010

This Monday (19 April) infamous Radio 1 hip hop DJ, Tim Westwood and pop singer, Alexandra Burke, tried their hands at volunteering in Sue Ryder’s Muswell Hill shop in London.

The day’s activities kick-started Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra’s ‘local hero’ campaign in which DJ Westwood takes on a daily volunteering challenge this week.  The aim of the campaign is that Westwood and celebrity guests will be able to showcase a variety of volunteering 'taster sessions' to Radio 1 and 1Xtra listeners to give an idea of the range of opportunities available to them.
