Announcing “30 Hours for a Rainbow”, A National LGBTQ+ Charity Radio Marathon

GlitterBeam is proud to launch 30 Hours for a Rainbow, a 32-hour live charity marathon on 6–7 December 2025, raising money for LGBTQ+ charities across the UK.

For the first time, GlitterBeam will broadcast a 32 hours non-stop live radio show in support of LGBTQ+ causes.
The event will run from 11am Saturday 6 December until 7pm Sunday 7 December, celebrating the diversity of the community with music, stories, live performances, and fundraising updates.

On air, GlitterBeam will host two presenters live in the studio for 32 hours, welcoming special guests, unplugged performances, and stories from the LGBTQ+ community. Across the UK, LGBTQ+ venues will be collecting donations for the charities they care about most. All the money raised on air will be placed in a central fundraising pot, which will be shared equally among all the charities supported by participating venues.

Listeners will be able to donate online or via text message. Throughout the marathon, listeners will hear live donation totals climbing as the community comes together. The event will close on Sunday 7 December at 7pm with the live Grand Total Reveal, combining venue collections and on-air donations into one moment of national pride and celebration.

This is more than a fundraiser, it’s a celebration of LGBTQ+ resilience, creativity, and community.
It shines a light on the organisations working hard across the UK and showcases how, when we unite, we can make a lasting difference.

Save the Date! Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 December 2025 live on GlitterBeam and on Youtube
