GB News’ Patrick Christys Gets ‘Very Emotional’ as He Shares Life-Changing Milestone with Fans!

GB News presenter Patrick Christys has shared an emotional update after a fundraiser he launched reached an extraordinary milestone. The campaign, aimed at supporting the survivors and victims of the Rochdale grooming scandal, has received overwhelming support.

Patrick created a GoFundMe page to raise money for the Maggie Oliver Foundation, a charity dedicated to helping survivors of grooming gangs. In the page’s description, he wrote:

*”Patrick Christys is raising money for the Maggie Oliver Foundation. Rape/grooming gangs have operated around the UK for decades, and it’s still happening today. The victims and survivors have been systematically let down, so this is a fundraiser to show them that YOU care and that YOU are on their side, as reported by the Express.

All the money will go directly to helping the survivors get the support they desperately need. Please give what you can – the issue of grooming gangs is in the news one week, then forgotten the next. But your donations will last a lifetime. Thank you.”*

Maggie Oliver, a former Detective Constable, became known for whistleblowing on her own police force’s mishandling of the Rochdale child sex abuse ring. Her tireless work continues to bring attention to this cause, and Patrick’s fundraiser aims to amplify her efforts.

Sharing an update on social media, Patrick expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming generosity of the public. He wrote on X:

“Feeling very emotional tonight – at 9 pm [January 13] I launched a fundraiser for @TMOFCharity. By 9:45 pm YOU raised £100k. By 11 pm YOU raised £160k. The generosity of @GBNEWS viewers is amazing. This is for the victims and survivors.”

By the time of his post, the fundraiser had amassed an incredible £210,515 in just a few hours. Patrick urged supporters to continue donating, adding:

“Please show the victims and survivors of Britain’s rape gangs that you care! Over the years, this issue has fallen in and out of the news agenda, but your donations will last a lifetime.”

Fans praised Patrick for his efforts, with one writing: “Well done Patrick! Come on Elon Musk, give this fundraiser a share!” Another added: “Thank you, Maggie has long been the resolute voice for grooming gang victims and works tirelessly.” A third viewer commented: “Amazing. Brits are amazing. Well done Patrick.”

Through his heartfelt campaign, Patrick Christys has highlighted the importance of sustained support for survivors, proving that collective action can make a difference in the lives of those affected by such harrowing crimes.
