STV Appeal fundraisers and celebrities prepare for live show finale Fundraisers and celebrities are preparing for the STV Appeal 2013's live show finale. The Big Live event, which is the culmination of the charity programme, is being broadcast on Friday. It will be presented by Lorraine Kelly from Pacific Quay in Glasgow and will include live music from Hue and Cry and Red Hot Chilli Pipers. The programme, which starts at 7.30pm, will be packed with live entertainment, celebrity appearances and inspiring fundraising stories from across the country. Co-presenters Sanjeev Kohli and Michelle McManus will join Lorraine in Glasgow, with links to Andrea Brymer in the Aberdeen studio and Gordon Chree in Edinburgh. Finally, Lorraine Kelly will bring the evening to a close revealing how much the STV Appeal 2013 has raised to help children and young people affected by poverty in Scotland. Lorraine Kelly said: "As a trustee of STV Appeal I'm delighted to present the big finale of this year's campaign, and help support this hugely important cause in any way I can. Friday's big live show is set to be a fantastic celebration. We meet some of the many generous fundraisers, big and small, who have made an incredible effort to raise money for the appeal, and of course we find out how much Scotland has raised for children in poverty. I hope viewers all over the country join me for what promises to be a brilliant night on STV. Elizabeth Partyka, deputy director of channels, added: "For the third year running we have seen some incredible support from communities across Scotland who are getting behind the appeal to help raise much-needed funds and awareness. This line-up of special programming is a great culmination of what we hope will be our best year yet. In its first two years the STV Appeal has raised £3.3m, which has been invested in 98 big and small projects across the country.
