Our Comedy Fundraiser for Action for Children

We recently held a stand-up comedy fundraiser for Action for Children, a charity that helps vulnerable children & young people and their families. This has been our largest event for our 2022 charity partnership with Action for Children.

Held in Crumlin Road Gaol on Saturday 5^th November, it featured a stellar line-up including local legends Ciaran Bartlett, Ian Thomson, and Eamon McElwee. Through ticket sales and a raffle held on the night, we raised almost £1500!

Action For Children protects and supports children and young people in the UK, providing practical and emotional care and support. They ensure young people’s voices are heard, and campaign to bring lasting improvements to their lives. Our partnership comes at a crucial time as families across Northern Ireland are facing significant rises in costs of fuel, food and more.

Cheryl Brown, Action for Children Fundraising Manager said “The passion and commitment shown by Bathshack colleagues for our partnership and in helping vulnerable children and young people is outstanding. Bathshack have been organising events throughout 2022 and have raised over £3,100 so far, which is fantastic.”

She continued, “our frontline workers tell us the cost-of-living crisis has affected children and young people they support substantially, as well as seeing a huge increase in referrals to Action for Children Services. Thanks to our continued partnership, Action for Children can be a lifeline for those families, children and young people and give them the vital practical and emotional support they need. We look forward to seeing what is next on the Bathshack calendar.”

We would like to give a huge thank you to everyone who bought a ticket and came out to support the cause. We hope you laughed your heart out!
