Episode Seven: Meet Katie Bell, Raising for Charity

Business


Katie and her family raised £7,500 for the hospice that cared for her mum, £2,500 above their target, by organizing a fire walk in her memory. In this episode, Katie tells Chris Jones how friends and family brought the room to life, why the walk felt different from her earlier fundraiser for Shine, and how a flame tattoo became a daily reminder of her strength. She also shares the less-glamorous side of fundraising: slow donations, unanswered appeals to local businesses, and the value of persistence, a bigger team, and local media. It’s an intimate account of turning grief into a remarkable night of community and support.
