**A spoof version of Justin Timberlake’s video, ‘CAN’T STOP THE FEELING!’ created
by local businesses in St Albans is raising funds for [Home-Start](http://www.homestartstalbans.org.uk/),
the charity that supports struggling families in Hertfordshire.**

 

Coordinated by Sue Wybrow, Founder of the [St Albans Businesses](http://stalbansbusinesses.co.uk/)(
SAB) group and filmed by Yellow Lizard Media, the video features people from over
30 local businesses, including St Albans ex-mayor Salih Gaygusiv who takes Justin’s
role in the video.

A premiere of the video was screened locally on 16th June with money from the ticket
sales going to the charity, and so far the video has raised £2317.62 with over 6200
views online. The current total is enough to enable Home-Start to support two new
families for six months. SAB has supported the charity since January with other 
fundraising events including a “What Has St Albans Got To Offer Your Business?” 
event with profits from the ticket sales going to Home-Start, a golf day, and a 
Comedy in the Yurt night. SAB is also donating a percentage of its membership fees
to the charity each month.
