Merseyway Shopping Centre in Stockport is hosting its first Family FUNdraiser event on Friday 26th and Saturday 27th September, with a jam-packed line-up of exciting activities and performances set to take place over the two days, all to raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Merseyway announces Family FUNdraiser for Macmillan Cancer Support
– Sam Callahan confirmed as headline act
– Kiki deVille to perform and compere
– Storytelling and Meet and Greets from Fireman Sam

Sam Callahan, a finalist in last year’s X Factor, is the headline act on the stage in Town Square on Saturday, alongside Kiki deVille, former contestant on BBC1’s The Voice, who will also act as compere throughout the day. In addition, Britain’s Got Talent performer Harry Mondryk and X Factor contestant from 2013 Giles Potter will also be performing on the day. Fireman Sam will be performing a number of narrations and meet and greets and there will also be a fashion show involving Merseyway’s retailers, modelled by Agencie Model Management.
In addition, there will be children’s activities taking place throughout the day, including a Treasure Trail and Doodle Tattoos. There will be a fairground in Mersey Square on both days.
Activities on the Friday align with Macmillan’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning. A marquee in Mersey Square will offer shoppers coffee demonstrations, a cake sale, children’s workshops from Creation Station, where children will have the chance to make their own Mad Hatter’s Tea Party hat, Bingo and an apron sewing class. There will also be a baking competition, with Merseyway looking out for ‘Stockport’s Best Sponge’.
The event is free to attend, from 10am – 5pm on both days. There will be opportunities to make donations to Macmillan Cancer Support at each activity throughout the course of the event. A representative from Macmillan will be present at the event on the Friday to talk about the vital work the charity does in the region.
Merseyway Shopping Centre Manager Brendan Webb said: “The Merseyway Family FUNdraiser has something for everyone and we’re confident we can raise a really decent amount of money for Macmillan Cancer Support. We’re looking forward to seeing lots of people turn out over the course of the two days to enjoy the variety of activities and performances we have lined up.”
