Peter Kay donates to Children’s charity at London show. His first stand-up gig in over 12 years was greeted with a standing ovation before the show even began. And, now after selling at the O2 in London he’s donated £14,000 to a children’s charity for Christmas.
The generous donation was Peter’s Christmas spirit and represented £1 for every fan at his London O2 arena show.
The Car Share creator kicked off his first residency show of the Peter Kay tour at the O2 Arena and revealed on Friday night his festive plan for a little bit of cheer.
According to The Mirror, whilst in a full Santa suit, he said: “I think Christmas is about doing good things for other people so we’re gonna take a pound off each of you.

“I’m going to put it in a children’s charity and I was looking at my phone on the way down and I found one called Action for Children.”
“They do a Secret Santa and it seems really lovely. There’s 14,000 people here, so if I take a pound that’s £14,000 for children on your behalf. So thanks!”
How incredible is that? What a lovely bit of good news in the run-up to Christmas. A spokesperson for the charity told the Mirror that it was an ‘amazing donation’ and would help them ‘support our frontline workers who are helping struggling families.’
