Fame UK Reunion made a statement on social media last month that they have partnered with Easy  Fundraising, which is a shopping site. Setting up an account and then shopping with your favourite stores, via the easy Fundraising website they will donate cashback to the charity. 

"Help Fame UK Reunion to recuperate lost funds at absolutely no cost to you.

In 2019 and 2022 we produced a series of concerts which reunited the original cast of the hit TV show Fame. The aim was to raise money for Claire House Children’s Hospice in the North West.

In 2019 we successfully raised £27,000.

However in 2022 we lost almost £40.000.

This is a debt that has been taken on by the organisers personally.

There was no business to declare bankrupt, no large backers to bail us out.

This is a request to try and help recoup some of those funds.

We can’t possibly consider producing any more reunion events while we are still in deficit. Please be reassured that if we ever move from debt to profit, all profits will be donated to Claire House as originally intended." 


Alternatively if you prefer to help out by making a donation you can do that at their 

Go Fund Me Page 

Also Fame UK Reunion posted on Friday about an event taking place in Southport UK on 2nd & 3rd January 2026. 



Billy Hufsey posted his latest Podcast videos. Sadly we can't embed them here so are just providing the links.



Have a Great Month,


Mark
