A night of laughter and generosity: The Best of British Comedy Gala Dinner

On November 23rd, The Grand Hotel in Brighton played host to an unforgettable evening of laughter, and fundraising for the Foundation. The Best of British Comedy Gala Dinner, featuring the hilarious Rob Beckett as the comedy headline act, proved to be a highlight in the Best of British events calendar, bringing together the local business community for a night to remember.

But beyond the laughter, the evening had a higher purpose – fundraising for Focus Foundation. The generous donations from attendees and sponsors amounted to an astounding £28,000, underscoring the power of collaboration to make a positive impact. Funds raised will contribute towards our ongoing grants, furthering our efforts to make a meaningful difference in the community.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes to Ryan Heal and the entire Best of British team for orchestrating such a brilliant evening. The partnership paved the way for substantial contributions towards our shared vision of connecting communities and changing lives.
