A private fundraising evening in New York has brought a $1 million boost to charities supporting disadvantaged children and young people in Suffolk, England. Singer Ed Sheeran joined Ipswich Town Football Club chairman and chief executive Mark Ashton at the invitation-only event in late September 2026, where an exclusive performance and charity auction helped raise the money. According to the Lentonbrook Foundation’s official announcement, published on October 19, the entire amount will remain in Suffolk and support local charities and community organisations. The fundraising milestone will allow the foundation to expand its work with young people and families who need additional support.
