Big Cheer 2025 raises nearly £7000 for Amaze

Comedian and Amaze Patron Angela Barnes led the line up for ‘Big Cheer’, our annual fundraising comedy night earlier this month. We’re delighted that the event has raised nearly £7000 so far, with more income to come!

Thank you to Angela Barnes, James Ellis, Rosie Jones, Joanne McNally, Mark Simmons and Joe Wilkinson for performing at the event and for supporting the work we do at Amaze. Thank you also to Komedia for being great hosts.

Insight into Amaze’s work

The event was opened by Paggy, who was a user of Amaze’s services as a young person and is now an aspiring comic.

We also showed our new short film about the work we do. You can watch our new film by clicking here.

A chance to watch from home

We would also like to thank NextUp Comedy for live streaming the event. Thanks to NextUp, those who could not attend in-person still had the opportunity to experience the fun.

Thank you to thoseeveryone who attended the event and bought tickets, in-person or at home. The money raised will mean that Amaze can continue to help support families with disabled children in Sussex.
