‘A Night at the Musicals’ is a collaboration between St. James’s Place (SJP) and Beyond the Barricade, the UK’s longest running musical theatre concert tour, to raise funds for the SJP Charitable Foundation.

Join the cast for two hours of the best of Broadway and the West End, featuring the songs that have made audiences return over and over again for 25 years.

Enjoy numbers from The Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, West Side Story, The Lion King, Blood Brothers, Miss Saigon, Hamilton and many others, climaxing with a spectacular finale from, of course, Les Misérables!

The concert will feature Andy Reiss, David Fawcett, Katie Leeming and Sarah Ryan who have all played principal roles in both the West End and UK Tours of Les Misérables, together with a live band who capture the feel of the original orchestrations of the chosen musicals.

The St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation funds small and medium sized charities across the UK and overseas working with children who are disadvantaged physically, socially or economically. We also fund hospices, mental health charities and cancer support charities.

The Foundation was set up in 1992 as a way for the staff and advisers of St. James’s Place plc (SJP) to give back in their communities. More than 30 years on, and the support of the SJP community has helped us raise millions of pounds for charities and become one of the largest corporate foundations in the UK, supporting hundreds of charities every year through our grant-making programmes. Many of our charity partnerships go beyond funding, as we also seek to provide a deeper level of support and add value through the SJP community volunteering their time and skills, helping to deliver an even bigger impact.

Since the outset, we have been supporting smaller charities that can substantially benefit from our grant funding. We aim to enable transformational change through our charity partnerships, which will have a significant and long term impact within their communities.

Approximately 85% of the money we raise goes to supporting UK charities, with the remaining 15% being allocated to charities overseas, particularly those helping children and young people to escape poverty, malnutrition and neglect.

Our work stretches across four main themes:

• Supporting young people – special needs or disadvantaged: We work with charities who support disadvantaged and disabled young people under the age of 25. Our aim is to enable a more inclusive and accessible society for those with additional social or economic barriers or ease suffering for those with life-limiting or terminal illness.
• Supporting people with cancer: Our funding in this area focuses on developing services for people to live well with cancer, for them to be informed, empowered and supported.
• Mental health: Over the past few years, demand for mental health services has risen exponentially and our funding enables organisations to scale their resources and create greater access to the right support.
• Hospices: We are proud to support the hospice network,(including adult and children’s hospices) which provide a key facility in our communities to support people living with a debilitating or life-limiting illness who seek specialist support services, respite and end of life care. We work both in partnership with Hospice UK to support innovation and development of services as well as direct support with selected hospices to support their day-to-day services.
