A STAR-STUDDED fundraiser has raised more than £30,000 for a men’s mental health charity.

The sold-out charity night, held at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool, supported Sean’s Place, which provides free, life-saving mental health support for men across Merseyside.

More than 400 guests attended the event on November 7, including actors Laura Aikman, Shaun Fagan, Darci Shaw, Stephanie Waring, Louis Emerick, Greg Finnegan, Carley Stenson, Ian Puleston-Davies, and Celyn Jones.

Other attendees included Peter Olivier OBE, the Lord-Lieutenant of Merseyside,  MMA fighter Liam McCracken and Sean’s Place patron Terri Dwyer, a BAFTA-nominated film producer and actress.

Debbie Rogers, founder and CEO of Sean’s Place, said: "We are absolutely thrilled to have raised over £30k for Sean’s Place.

"It was a truly special evening, bringing together so many wonderful people who wanted to show their support for a cause that really matters.

"Sean’s Place does extraordinary work supporting men when they need it most, and every penny raised will help the service continue its vital work.

"I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, performed, donated and helped make the night such a success."

Guests enjoyed live entertainment from northern performers, including a solo performance by Carley Stenson.

Sean’s Place offers free and immediate access to mental health support for men across Merseyside.

The charity’s work is especially urgent as one in five men experience suicidal thoughts during their lifetime.

The event was described as a night filled with generosity, entertainment, and community spirit, and served as a reminder of the impact that collective action can have.

The funds will help the service continue its vital work.
