#moneymountain

In the early 2000’s I was a member of BBC Radio Derby Advisory Council, one of the highlight in the calendar year was participating in annual Money Mountain Appeal, for the 25 years that this ran for this raised over £1 million for local causes.  

Therefore it would be really good to have this special community event to return as a one off nearly 10 years after the last broadcast I am sure many of you agree and miss this on your local radio station.

Were you a beneficiary of Money Mountain & how did this help your charity?

Were you a member of BBC staff at the time, were heavily involved in the planning or involved on the day itself and would like to help out again for a one off special?

Were you a member of the public who volunteered to help out with BBC Money Mountain on the day itself?

Were you a member of BBC Radio Derby Advisory Council during the years that Money Mountain was in operation and would like to return again for a one off special?

Do you have any photos or stories you would like to share with the public that could be included on BBC Radio Derby Website a decade on?

There are so many people unemployed in Derby & Derbyshire who listen to BBC Radio Derby so as a special project could we get local people involved to set up & coordinate this in conjunction with the radio station management.

What should you do next?

In the first instance email BBC Radio Derby [email protected] and express your desire for this to return, if enough people write in then the editorial team may consider this for a one off.

You can read some of the publicity around the event on these links below:
