TV comedy producer, Stu Mather, was able to use his connections to attract some of Britain’s top comedy talent, including Jon Richardson, Josh Widdvicombe, Suzi Ruffell, James Acaster and Chris McCausland, for a comedy fundraising night, at 2Northdown in Kings Cross, London.
Two brothers, Tim and Stu Mather, from Widnes, have raised over five thousand pounds for the national disability charity, Sense, enlisting the help of family and celebrity friends to put on two very special fundraisers.
Over a hundred people attended a wine tasting evening, organised by the brothers’ parents, John and Carole Mather, at Widnes Cricket Club on the 16th February. The wine was supplied by John Stott, via the International Wine Challenge, and raised over three thousand pounds.
Tim Mather was inspired by his daughter, who was born with a hearing and sight impairment, to fundraise for Sense, a charity that supports people with complex communication needs.
This isn’t the first time the brothers have raised money for the charity. In 2016, Tim participated in the London Marathon, raising over five thousand pounds for Sense. Tim will now run the London Marathon again, with his brother Stu joining him, who is running for the first time.
Tim Mather said:
“We are delighted to have raised over £5k for Sense, a charity very close to our heart. They do amazing things for the families they support. We’ve had great fun arranging the wine tasting and comedy night are thrilled with the tremendous support we received from family and friends.”
