Ambassador
Renowned actor Charles is best known for his 10-year portrayal of Big Mac in hospital drama Casualty as well as Coronation Street and Emmerdale. In 2024 Charles made the move into local government and politics, becoming the Deputy Mayor of his beloved hometown of Tenby.
Charles is a stalwart supporter of Brain Tumour Research, taking part in some of our biggest campaigns, such as #ShineALight and Wear A Hat Day. He is driven by three very personal connections to our community: he was a close friend of Coronation Street star Bill Tarmey whose son Carl died of a brain tumour; he worked with writer, poet and musician Benjamin Zephaniah, who also lost his life to this disease in 2023; he is good friends with fellow Ambassador and actor Craig Russell, who was diagnosed with a meningioma in 2023.
Now, Charles will embark on his biggest challenge yet to raise money – an epic 30-day motorcycle journey across Wales and England in memory of his dear friend, Shaun. For more information or to donate visit: Charles Dale - Shaun's TT 100 | givestar
