The Angels

Five visionary entrepreneurs/philanthropists will generously donate £10,000 each to support Sussex-based charities and our local community. This year, Focus Foundation is honoured to be matching their £50,000 to bring the total to £100,000 on the night. These donations will ensure that this impactful event continues to support organisations dedicated to improving lives in Sussex.

The five Angels on the night, have now been confirmed as Chris Goodman, Sarah Willingham, Rob Starr, Mike Clare and Nazila Blencowe.

The Event

On Thursday 6th November 2025 – 10 deserving charities will have the opportunity to present their missions, visions, and plans to the Angels. This inspiring event will foster collaboration, innovation, and hope as grassroots charities share their aspirations for a brighter future in Sussex.

The Charities

There are so many remarkable charities in our community who would be eligible to take part in this event. There will be an application process, and the finalists will be selected to participate, each representing a unique cause and a profound vision for change. These organisations will need to demonstrate a deep commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of those they support.

Making an Impact

The Angels will have the crucial task of allocating the £100,000 donation among the charities that make the strongest case for their work. Their decision will be based on the charities’ innovative ideas, passion, and strategic plans for using these funds to create lasting change.
