Dragons' Den star Steven Bartlett to donate profits from The Diary Of A CEO live tour to charity

Dragons' Den star Steven Bartlett is to donate all the profits from his up-coming The Diary Of A CEO live tour to charity.

The Social Chain co-founder is to stage performances in Manchester, London, Newcastle, Dublin and Birmingham from February 21 to March 28.

The tour comes after Mr Bartlett held his first show in Manchester in July 2021.

In a statement published on LinkedIn, he said: "We've sold out nine dates, in six cities and 17,000+ tickets for The Diary Of A CEO LIVE tour and I want to donate all of the profits to charities and causes that don't usually get (but very much need) the support.

"I do this show for the love of it - it's all about helping people feel good and understand things about their own lives, and for me the show would be even more special if the proceeds were also being given to causes that are focused on helping people.

"Therefore, I want to give any profits we make away and I want to do it transparently (I.E I'll post the donations online).

"So my question to you is this, what are the best unappreciated charities, causes or organisations you know of that are working to help people that need it in a meaningful way?"

He added that it would pick three from the comments section under his post and that they would receive any profits that he makes from the tour.
