Helen Place

We're raising money in memory of our brilliant friend and colleague Helen Place.

We're devastated by the loss of a wonderfully straight-talking, vibrant, kind, clever and hilarious woman, who died last week after a short illness.

Her 20-odd year career at the BBC saw her work in Newcastle, Birmingham, Glasgow, York and finally in Salford, where she worked for both Radio 5 Live and Money and Work.

This fund will honour Helen's memory, and will directly benefit her two year old son, Stanley.
