The last night of our Best of British show was held as a benefit night for local charity Ambition, Aspire, Achieve. This has become an annual event at Brick Lane Music Hall, with all proceeds of the show going to support the Charity’s work with vulnerable and disadvantaged children in Newham.

Brick Lane Benefit Evening Raises Nearly £16,000!

“Last Saturday, the iconic Brick Lane Music Hall came alive with laughter, music, and incredible generosity as we hosted a truly unforgettable Benefit Evening in support of our work with vulnerable and disadvantaged young people in Newham. The legendary Vincent Hayes MBE and his talented cast delivered a brilliantly entertaining show, full of heart and humour. The Music Hall team, as always, worked tirelessly behind the scenes to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere and ensure everything ran smoothly. Their dedication and professionalism helped make the evening a true celebration of community spirit. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attended — through ticket sales, our lively raffle, the exciting auction, and spontaneous giving throughout the evening — we are thrilled to share that the event raised just under £16,000. This is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the deep compassion and support shared by our community. These vital funds will go directly toward supporting the children and young people we work with — helping us to run safe, inclusive, and inspiring activities that change lives and create brighter futures. We want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, donated, or supported the event in any way. The kindness, energy, and generosity shown by all of you — and especially by Vincent and his incredible team — mean the world to us. We simply wouldn’t be able to do what we do without the tremendous support of people like you. Together, we are making a difference.”

Adding this year’s amount raised to the tally from previous benefit nights, the Charity has told us that over the past 8 years Brick Lane Music Hall has helped raise a total of £118,000 to support the Charity in its invaluable work.
