Fundraising Dinner November 2025
On 28 November 2025, we proudly hosted our inaugural fundraising dinner, welcoming one hundred guests to the iconic Belfry Hotel & Resort in North Warwickshire. It was a landmark evening for Cohort 4, bringing together supporters, partners, and friends for a night of inspiration and community spirit.
We were especially honoured to be joined by the Rt Hon Dame Penny Mordaunt, who delivered a powerful and uplifting speech. She reminded us that, even in times when the national mood can feel uncertain, there remains so much to celebrate, so much potential ahead, and so many reasons to be proud of the work taking place in our communities — including the vital support offered by organisations like ours.
The evening’s auction was brilliantly led by local celebrity auctioneer Richard Winterton, whose energy and expertise kept the room buzzing. Guests bid on an exciting range of lots generously donated by Aston Villa FC, Coventry City FC, Dame Penny, Lorraine Kelly, and many others.
Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of everyone involved, the event raised over £6,500. These funds will allow us to extend our services and reach even more people across our local communities.
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to every guest, sponsor, donor, and volunteer who played a part in making the evening such a success. Your kindness and support have made a real and lasting difference to our group — and we are truly grateful.
