Omnibus - Children in Need

Fi Glover introduces four conversations between adults and children who have been helped by charities that receive funding from Children in Need.

Fi Glover introduces four conversations between adults and children who have been helped by charities that receive funding from Children in Need. Fi Glover presents the Omnibus edition of the series that proves it's surprising what you hear when you listen.

The charities featured are: YMCA Cardiff (Time 4 Me Young Carers Project); Alison House Youth and Play Project, Treorchy; Dorothy House Hospice, Bradford on Avon; Arts Alive, Wales.

The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to them about a subject they've never discussed intimately before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK by teams of producers from local and national radio stations who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're not 91热爆 interviews, and that's an important difference - lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key moment of connection between the participants. Most of the unedited conversations are being archived by the British Library and used to build up a collection of voices capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade of the millennium.

Producer: Marya Burgess.
