highlighting the work of Children in Need

Fi Glover presents the omnibus edition of the series that proves it's surprising what you hear when you listen with three conversations celebrating the work of charities benefitting from Children in Need. They include Read for Good which provides books for children in hospital; CHIVA which works with young people who have been perinatally infected with HIV; and the counselling service for bereaved children, STARS.

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 麻豆社 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.
