INSPIRATIONAL NIGHT FOR AN AUDIENCE WITH ANDY REID MBE EVENT

Firstly Thank you! What an amazing night it was as we saw over 200 people gather at The Totally Wicked Stadium in St Helens on Saturday to attend an intimate yet entertaining event with  our charity founder Andy Reid MBE.

We have so much admiration for Andy  for sharing his incredible and inspirational story of how he has overcome adversity. The insights he divulged into his personal life will also never be forgotten, in particular the “Spicy Rat” story!

Joining Andy on the night was special guest and ex-Saints player Louie McCarthy – Scarsbrook, who enthralled the crowd with his cheeky banter and charisma and also our very own CEO John Tabern. Their stint on the sofa will remain in our memories as questions were fired at them by our effortlessly hilarious host and compere for the night – Pete Emmett.

A special mention is due to our Armed Forces Ambassador and fellow veteran John Massam, who shared his incredibly brave story and how the Foundation has helped him overcome hurdles in life.

An enormous thank you to Jess Cosy who delighted us with her beautiful singing throughout the night.

Finally, thank you to everybody that came, supported Andy and the Foundation, and played a part in making the event on Saturday such a huge success. The auction in particular raised a lot of money with a box of monster munch going for an unbelievable £300!! All the proceeds go directly to helping people in the community with their mental health, addiction issues and overall wellbeing.

We couldn’t have done it without you all! We are truly lucky and grateful to have all you wonderful people in our lives.

Please see below some photos from the night to re-live all the special (and for some of you, slightly hazy) memories!!
