Jonathan Bailey Wins Fundraiser Award for Supporting LGBT+ Charity

Jonathan Bailey, known for his role in Bridgerton, has won the Celebrity Fundraiser of the Year award at the 2024 GoCardless JustGiving Awards. His efforts raised £33,452 for Just Like Us, an LGBT+ charity supporting young people across the UK. This major achievement highlights Bailey’s dedication to helping LGBT+ youth thrive.

Bailey also raised £4,784 for MND Scotland, showing his commitment to multiple causes. In 2023, after meeting Just Like Us ambassadors and hearing their stories of coming out, Bailey became a patron. Inspired by their work in schools, he decided to use his platform to further support the LGBT+ community. In May 2024, he completed the Wizz Air Hackney Half marathon to raise even more awareness for the charity. “This is the stuff that means the most,” Bailey said, reflecting on the impact of his efforts.

Laura Mackay, CEO of Just Like Us, applauded Bailey’s ongoing support. She emphasized how his visibility as an LGBT+ public figure and a fundraiser has been crucial in promoting acceptance and inclusion. His efforts are ensuring a brighter future for LGBT+ youth across the UK.

Bailey’s work with Just Like Us continues to create a lasting impact, both through his fundraising and advocacy. His role as a patron demonstrates his dedication to helping LGBT+ young people feel proud of who they are.
