Stars heading to Leeds for the Matt Haycox Foundation fundraiser

Welcome to The Matt Haycox Foundation blog. The Matt Haycox Foundation is a charity that provides financial support to the lives of seriously and terminally ill children and their families.  Famous faces from the world of music and television gathered in Leeds last 26 of November for “An Evening with Brian McFadden”. The event aims to raise money for children’s charity The Matt Haycox Foundation, helping children in the UK with a range of issues including Cerebral Palsy as well as supporting foster families.

Showing their support for the foundation will be Love Island stars Hayley Hughes, Paul Knops and Zara Holland. Real Housewives of Cheshire Dawn Ward and Lauren Stone will be among the celebrities confirmed as attending on the night with TOWIE star James Argent due to close the evening by performing with his big band. Held at Leeds’ oldest and best known Italian restaurant, Bibi’s, guests will be treated to a red-carpet welcome, champagne reception and fine dining experience before international pop star and former Westlife singer McFadden take to the stage to perform. The evening was expected to raise over £50,000 to help the families of children from West Yorkshire in need of vital operations.

Matt Haycox, the founder of the foundation, said: “I’m thrilled to be able to announce what is set to be another brilliant evening raising money to support children in need of life-changing treatments, and their families."

Matt Haycox Foundation works tirelessly on everything from finding the causes they support, to creating and manage unique events to raise the money that changes lives.
