Children’s charity fundraiser promises ‘best night out’ in Swansea

Action for Children is bringing its award-winning Never Mind the Business music quiz and live music event back to Swansea for a fourth year. 

The unmissable night of live music and chaos will take place on the 18^th March at Brangwyn Hall in Swansea with leading law firm Douglas Jones Mercer being the main sponsor for the fourth consecutive year. 

The strictly t-shirts and jeans event gives businesses across Swansea and South Wales the chance to put their pop music knowledge to the test and enjoy live music sets while raising money for disadvantaged children and young people supported by Action for Children. 

Paul Thorburn, former Welsh rugby international, Douglas Jones Mercer representative and chairman of the Never Mind the Business Swansea committee, said: ‘I’m thrilled we’re bringing Never Mind the Business back to Swansea again in the Spring.  We’ve loved being part of this from the start as it’s a brilliant night out that has raised over £100,000 for Action for Children so far and made a huge difference to the lives of children and young people.

‘The pandemic has meant we’ve waited a long time to bring it back but with a date sorted for March, we’re raring to go.  Swansea people always love a night out and they’ve been fantastic in the way they’ve supported this event, so get ready – Never Mind the Business is back!’

Nina Rice, Regional Fundraising Manager for Action for Children in Wales, added: ‘We’re very proud Never Mind the Business Swansea has raised so much money for those who need it most in our communities.  Our brilliant main sponsor, Douglas Jones Mercer have, once again, done a great job in attracting Swansea businesses to the event that has seen so many people respond and embrace this huge party at the iconic Brangwyn Hall.    

‘Covid put the brakes on us for two years, but I’m delighted to say tables are available to book now, so we recommend companies book early to avoid disappointment. The event went down a storm last time around with friends and colleagues putting their music knowledge to the ultimate test as well as dancing the night away.  It’s a wonderful way to raise money for the children and young people we proudly serve in Swansea and across the UK and after such a long break, the night is going to go with a massive swing – don’t miss out.’
