Radio 1's #1MillionHours Christmas Party

It's happened! Our campaign has hit 1 MILLION hours! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ‘

To celebrate we threw a Christmas party with the Radio 1 presenters, with lots of festive delights including a rap battle between two presenters, a seasonal Live Lounge and a very special Innuendo Bingo ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ‰

We kicked things off with a rap battle between Matt Edmondson and Alice Levine (warning: serious flows ahead)

Radio 1 Christmas Party Rap Battle: Alice Levine Vs Matt Edmondson

Now this is going to be good... or maybe the opposite of that.

The bar had been set high by the rap battle, but then Calum Scott dropped by for a festive Live Lounge ๐ŸŽ„

Our next party game was Innuendo Bingo ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ (yep, that's Father Chris Stark-mas going head to head with the R1 presenters)

After that, all that remained was to REVEAL THE TOTAL. Did we reach a million? ๐Ÿ˜จ๐Ÿ˜จ๐Ÿ˜จ

YES WE DID! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

THANK YOU so much to all our amazing listeners who pledged their time.

We hope you agree that the Radio 1 Christmas party has been total jokes - but of course we haven't forgotten why did all this. We started #1MillionHours to make a difference to people's lives. Here's what happened when some of our DJs met people who have been helped by volunteers.

Scott & Lou: "Sometimes it's a bit difficult, especially at Christmastime"

Scott meets 94 year old Louise who, thanks to Age UK, now has a regular visitor.

Clara meets Drew & Solomon: "It's a really positive force of change in your life"

Barnardoโ€™s volunteer Drew tells Clara about being a big brother for Solomon to talk to.
