Gavin & Stacey raffle raises thousands for charity

Adrian Scarborough played Pete in the BBC sitcom

A signed call-sheet from the final episode of Gavin & Stacey has raised £4,235 for a homelessness charity.

Adrian Scarborough, who played Pete, donated the call-sheet for the show's last ever scene to Hertfordshire-based charity DENS as a raffle prize.

Ruth Jones and James Corden – the sitcom's writers as well as stars in the show – signed it and included farewell messages.

Kate Rogers, of DENS, said the charity was "thrilled with the success of our Gavin & Stacey raffle and would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our new patron, Adrian Scarborough, and everyone who entered".

She added: "The funds raised will support DENS' vital work helping local people facing homelessness, poverty, and social exclusion."

A call-sheet typically is a daily outline for a shoot.

The charity raffle began on 29 April and finished on Wednesday.

Gavin & Stacey first hit the small screen in 2007

Gavin & Stacey was first screened in 2007, and more than 12 million viewers watched the final episode on Christmas Day 2024.

Scarborough, 56, who lives in Hertfordshire, first supported DENS as a guest speaker at the charity's 20th anniversary gala dinner last year.

He said: "I've had the privilege of seeing the incredible work they do to support vulnerable people across the community – and their services are needed now more than ever.

"I'm excited to work alongside the great team at DENS and do whatever I can to help grow their impact."

Wendy Lewington, the charity's CEO, added: "From the moment Adrian started supporting DENS, we knew he was the perfect champion of our cause."

A signed script of the final episode raised more than £50,000 when it was donated to a children's charity by Robert Wilfort, who played Stacey's brother.
