Sunday for Sammy is a charity that supports emerging creative talent in the North East of England, particularly in the performing arts. It was established in memory of the late Geordie actor Sammy Johnson, known for his roles in Spender and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
The charity raises funds primarily through biennial variety concerts held in Newcastle, featuring well-known North East entertainers such as Tim Healy, Kevin Whately, Charlie Hardwick, Jill Halfpenny and many others.
