GMG owned radio stations Smooth and Real Radio are to dedicate day of programming to support injured servicemen and women.

‘Help for Heroes Day’ will take place on Friday 14 October, where throughout the day, troops and their families will offer their stories, while celebrities will join the stations in a bid to raise funds for the Help the Heroes charity.

 This is the third consecutive year that the stations have supported the charity, having raised over half a million pounds over the previous two days.
 
John Simons , group programme director for GMG Radio, said: “To meet many of the injured service men and women that receive help and support from Help for Heroes is a very humbling experience. This is a very poignant time when we have all been thinking about the war on terror, and listeners to our Real and Smooth stations across the UK have shown amazing support for Help for Heroes, so we are delighted to be raising money for them again.”
