Friends of Isaac’s Food Bank
When people think of fundraising, they often picture bake sales, sponsored runs, or raffles in village halls. Every now and then, though, a fundraiser comes along that reminds us just how powerful creativity, laughter and shared experience can be when they are harnessed for a good cause.
That’s exactly what happened when Poldark took to the stage in support of Friends of Isaac’s Food Bank, delivering an unforgettable night of entertainment, while raising vital funds for the local community.

An Unforgettable Fundraising Night for Friends of Isaac’s Food Bank
At its heart, Friends of Isaac’s Food Bank exists for one simple but vital reason: to make sure that no one in the community has to face hunger alone. Week after week, the charity supports individuals and families who find themselves in difficult circumstances, offering not just food, but dignity, understanding and a reminder that help is always there.
That mission was powerfully reflected in a recent fundraising evening that brought the community together for a night of entertainment, generosity and shared purpose.
Why Friends of Isaac’s Food Bank Matters
Food poverty can affect anyone. A sudden job loss, illness, rising household costs or unexpected life changes can quickly place pressure on even the most carefully managed finances.
The Friends of Isaac’s Food Bank responds to these realities with compassion and practical help, providing essential food supplies while working alongside local partners to support people through challenging times.
Events like this fundraiser are crucial. Every pound raised helps to keep shelves stocked, expand outreach and ensure that support is available when it’s needed most. Just as importantly, they raise awareness and remind people that Food Banks are a vital part of the social fabric of the community.
A Night Built on Community Support
The fundraising evening was a true community effort, showcasing the generosity and talent of local performers and supporters who gave their time and energy for the benefit of the Food Bank.
Throughout the night, guests were treated to a varied programme of entertainment that ensured there was something for everyone.
The diversity of acts kept the atmosphere lively and engaging, encouraging people to relax, laugh and enjoy being together, all while supporting a meaningful cause.
Celebrating Local Talent and Generosity
An Unforgettable Night of Fun, Laughter and Wonder!
One of the highlights of the evening was the appearance of Poldark the Hypnotist, whose performance brought laughter, amazement and a sense of shared experience to the room. His show invited volunteers from the audience to take part in a light-hearted and respectful way, creating moments that had the entire audience laughing and applauding.


Alongside Poldark’s performance, the evening also featured other live entertainment, including comedy, magic and additional fun games and raffles with exciting prizes that added variety and warmth to the programme. These performances helped to create a welcoming, celebratory atmosphere, turning the fundraiser into a genuine night out rather than simply an appeal for donations.

Each act played an important role in drawing people together and reinforcing the idea that fundraising can be joyful as well as impactful.
The evening was also supported by Photographer Sarah Haywood and local printing partner PSW Print and Paper Limited.

It’s More Than Fundraising, It’s Raising Awareness
While the entertainment provided the energy and excitement, the focus of the night always remained on Friends of Isaac’s Food Bank and the people it supports.
Attendees were reminded why the charity exists and how donations directly translate into meals, support and reassurance for those in need.
By combining entertainment with clear messaging about the Food Bank’s work, the event succeeded in doing more than raising money. It started conversations, challenged assumptions about food poverty and encouraged people to think about how they can support their community in everyday life.
One of the most powerful aspects of the evening was the understanding that the impact of the fundraiser would be felt close to home. Contributions made on the night will directly support local people; neighbours, colleagues and friends who may be struggling quietly behind closed doors.
That sense of local impact gave the event a deeper meaning. Guests weren’t just enjoying a show; they were actively helping to ensure that Friends of Isaac’s Food Bank can continue its essential work.
A Night that made a Difference
By the end of the evening, it was clear that the fundraiser had achieved something special. Thanks to the generosity of attendees, performers and organisers, the Friends of Isaac’s Food Bank received vital support that will make a real difference in the weeks and months ahead.
More than that, the night demonstrated the strength of community spirit. It showed what can happen when people come together with a shared goal using creativity, entertainment and kindness to support those who need it most.
The Friend’s of Isaac’s Food Bank would like to extend heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the event; the performers, volunteers, organisers and every single person who attended. Together you helped turn an evening of entertainment into lasting support for the community.
