Story

I am going to be locked up in one of the country’s most haunted prisons, HM Prison Shrewsbury, all for a good cause!
My profile picture is from a drama documentary for Sky TV, called ‘The Real Bronson’ where I played Britain’s most dangerous prisoner, Charlie Bronson, so this is actually my second visit to jail lol, so the photo seemed fitting…Throwback Thursday and all that, .HOWEVER, unlike Charlie, I will be getting out.

I need your help to reach my fundraising target to help local children in poverty.
Every little can make a big difference to their lives.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE..🙏🏻

OCCUPATION: Company Director,
Grimes Finishings Limited

LOOKING FORWARD TO: Raising Awareness of and raising money for, Cash for kids through LoveBrum

LEAST LOOKING FORWARD TO: I actually can't think of anything. I really am looking forward to the experience..

The money raised from Set me Free 2 will be used to support vital needs of children and young people across Birmingham and the Midlands.

Everything raised in our area stays in our area, with a focus on alleviating poverty and the local community needs. Any amount you care to give is very much appreciated. After you sponsor me, it would be great if you could leave me a photo or video support message too!

Keep an eye out below for my updates live from my cell on Thursday 5th June!

GRIMESY’S GOING TO JAIL.!!

Hello all you lovely people and yes I’m going to jail, thankfully for a great cause.
When I was asked to support this wonderful charity, CASH FOR KIDS by my friend Tim Andrews of LOVE BRUM, I was honoured and happy to spend the night in one of the country’s most haunted prisons.
If it is at all possible, would you please donate anything you can afford, to help me, help highlight the plight of children and young people in Birmingham and the West Midlands.
I’m looking forward to doing my bit and I would be so grateful if you could do a little bit too.
Thanking you kindly in advance..

Richard Grimes
