Jo Brand & Friends: Comedy For Cancer Care

29/09/2019, 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm

Jo Brand, Robin Ince and Andy Robinson come together on Sunday 29th September 2019 at The White Rock Theatre, Hastings to raise money for local charity The Sara Lee Trust.

The trio decided to support this growing local charity to help people across Hastings and Rother who are affected by cancer and other life threatening illnesses. The Sara Lee Trust provides vital specialist counselling, complementary therapy care and group activities to people who are often at their lowest ebb following a diagnosis of life threatening illness.

Jo Brand is a Sara Lee Trust Patron, with the comedy night being a ‘homecoming’ for her, having studied and lived in Hastings. On the forthcoming event she said: “I have supported the Sara Lee Trust for many years now, and the work they do to support people at a time of great need is so important. Andy and I are really proud to be able to help raise money for them and make a difference for so many people in the local area”.

Robin Ince added “One of the things that The Sara Lee Trust does so well is to support people who may be at the end of their life, by treating them with dignity, providing comfort to them and their loved ones, and enhancing their wellbeing.”

Raising Money for The Sara Lee Trust
This year, The Sara Lee Trust has seen an increase in the number of people supported to almost 900 per year, up from just over 700 in the previous year. The number of hours of care provided has jumped from 5,000 to over 6,000 in the same period. The need for specialist therapy support for people affected by life threatening illness in Hastings and Rother continues to rise year on year.
Funds raised from this event will support all of these costs and help to meet the growing local need for the Sara Lee Trust’s high quality specialist counselling and complementary therapy care across Hastings and Rother.
