The Lovely Show Teams Up with Childline by ISPCC

We are excited to announce that Justine Stafford and Kevin McGahern are using their platform for good in a powerful new episode of The Lovely Show. This special edition of the hit podcast is created in partnership with Childline by ISPCC, and it features the hosts answering real questions submitted by real children across Ireland.

In the episode, Justine and Kevin step into the shoes of Childline’s dedicated volunteers to respond with empathy, humour and honesty to questions submitted through Childline’s Ask the Team feature, where young people can anonymously share their thoughts or worries online.

The episode will touch on everything from friendships and feelings, to worries and growing up, all handled with the warm humour and relatability that The Lovely Show is known for.

“Childline provides amazing help to kids and teenagers who need it. We’re delighted to help them in our own small way” Kevin McGahern

“Childline is a wonderful service available to young people in Ireland today offering help to young people going through difficult situations as well as also offering a kind ear to talk to at any time. Being a part of this episode educated me in just how wide the range of conversations are at Childline and we hope we were able to offer help in a small way through discussing our own life experiences and struggles we faced growing up”Justine Stafford. 

“At Childline, we know that children and young people need different types of support at different times of their lives, but they always need someone to listen. We’re excited to partner with The Lovely Show, a unique collaboration for Childline. Justine and Kevin offer a refreshing perspective on the challenges faced by children and young people, one that will definitely be appreciated by listeners.”Matthew Boyd, Childline by ISPCC
