WTF! For Jeff

We’re incredibly proud — and deeply honoured — to finally be hosting WTF! For Jeff.

Jeff wasn’t just a supporter of our work — he was a genuine fan, a motivator, and a constant voice of encouragement. To us, he was more than a friend; he was like family. A true gentle giant with a heart of gold.

Tragically, Jeff passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Christmas Day, shortly after arriving in Australia to marry his soulmate of over 10 years. His passing was a devastating shock to everyone who knew and loved him.

Jeff was a respected member of our community — kind, compassionate, and full of life. He always showed up for others and had completed a 10k swim to raise funds for cancer research only a month before his passing. He truly brought a spark of joy wherever he went and he deserves to be remembered in a way that reflects the light he brought into the world.

WTF! For Jeff is our way of doing just that.

As we open the doors to our brand-new WTF! HQ — a space built on creativity, connection, and bold energy — we’re hosting a launch event and fundraiser to honour Jeff’s legacy. This celebration is more than just a party; it’s a chance to do something meaningful, and to raise vital funds for two causes close to Jeff’s heart and ours:

RNLI Blackpool — A charity close to Jeff’s heart. We’re incredibly grateful to them for giving him the beautiful and dignified send-off he truly deserved. Donations to support the RNLI will be collected on the day of the event and throughout the week at our new premises, as we celebrate our opening and raise funds for our local community.

Leukaemia Care UK — While Jeff received outstanding care in Australia, we want to honour his legacy by supporting future patients here in the UK. Funds for this vital charity will be raised online through ticket sales and direct donations.

This has been a long time coming, and it feels like the perfect moment to honour a true legend. Whether you’re joining us in person or supporting from afar, every penny raised will help make a difference and ensure Jeff’s legacy lives on.

Let’s raise a glass, spread some WTF! magic, and create something beautiful — in his name.

Thank you for your support.
