From an early age, Nick was taught that being a philanthropist is not just about writing a cheque, it’s about holding a hand and doing whatever you can to help and make lives better for other people.

Nick’s life changed when his beloved mother Eleanor died of a stroke on the 31st of August 1997 – a significant date that would be remembered by many people across the world as the day that Diana Princess of Wales was killed.

Since 1998 Nick has spent countless hours of his time devoting his energy to making a difference.

Because he isn’t particularly sporty Nick decided to put on a party to raise awareness for the stroke. Thus followed 20 years of A Night With Nick, a starstudded party held in London that benefited the Stroke Association.

Nick canvassed celebrities and influential people to attend his events to get the word out that Stroke affects everyone and there is no cure.
