THE St Luke’s Young Ambassadors raised almost £1,000 when they invited TV comedy star Rob Rouse to a special night of Stand-Up comedy.

The St Luke’s Young Ambassadors are the group of young Sheffield executives who have all agreed to take up the challenge of spreading the word to a new generation of potential supporters for the city’s only hospice.

Their Stand-Up Comedy Night at Yellow Arch Studios in Sheffield’s Burton Road was headlined by Rob Rouse, the star of BBC hits Grownups and Upstart Crow.

“This was a fantastic night that demonstrated yet again an alternative route to fundraising by our wonderful Young Ambassadors,” said St Luke’s Corporate Fundraising manager Jack Kidder.
