Al and his loyal band of Pub Landlord comedy fans, along with listeners to his "We Have Ways Of Making You Talk" podcast, have provided incredible support to Finley's Touch. Al loved chatting with his budding historian nephew, and some of his favourite uncle moments were whizzing around the RAF Museum and the Tank Museum with Finn and Jacob.
What Al lacks in organizational and administrative skills, he makes up for with boundless energy and enthusiasm for our cause. He’ll tackle any fundraising task, whether it’s auctioning off a vintage army uniform, marching in a Hawaiian shirt, or chucking one of our pet chooks into our beloved travelling Chinook. And he’s not afraid to ask his celebrity friends to join in!
We’ve been truly humbled by the incredible support Finley’s Touch has received from people all over the world.
To honour those who’ve gone above and beyond to keep us going, we’ve named them Finley’s Touch Ambassadors—a heartfelt thank you for their extraordinary efforts and the massive difference they’ve made.

From the moment Frank heard Al talking about Finley’s Touch, he jumped into action—and hasn’t looked back!
Since then, he’s hosted fundraising track days, shared Finley’s story far and wide, and become a huge source of support for our charity. In Autumn 2024, Frank and a fearless crew made headlines by leaping off the Brighton i360 in a daring show of fundraising spirit!
