• The Manchester Ball – Friday 16th November in aid of Manchester Settlement

  The Manchester Ball 2012 will be our Silver Jubilee, and we aim to celebrate our 25th year of fundraising with our biggest effort to date to raise money for worthy causes, through your continued kind support.

  The total amount raised at the 2011 Manchester Ball was £18,974, which was to fund a hugely worthwhile project for the Manchester Settlement to give young people the opportunity to improve their education and life chances. We were very touched by the many kind comments we received after last year’s event as well as the generosity of donations in the lead up to the Ball and on the night itself.

  In 2012, the Manchester Ball will again be held in aid of The Manchester Settlement. The Manchester Settlement is a charity set up in 1895 to address the effects of poverty in the neighbourhoods of East Manchester. Today the charity still works with young people and children from one of the most deprived communities in England. Most of the young people and children they help are from disadvantaged and chaotic backgrounds with low self-esteem and without aspirations and their aim is to fully engage these young people who are in need of help and support to turn their lives around. For more information visit The Manchester Settlement

  The Manchester Settlement Education Project works with vulnerable, challenging young people with complex problems and needs. Many of the children live chaotic lives and cannot cope at mainstream school. Funds raised from The Manchester Ball have enabled expansion of the education provision and to engage more vulnerable young people aged 13-16 back into learning. Through intensive targeted one to one support they have helped young people in crisis to improve their self-confidence and chances of achieving.

  New this year is a youth club and programme of youth activities and outreach sessions supported by The Manchester Ball, to engage young people into positive activities in the evening. All funds raised at The Manchester Ball goes directly to supporting soem of teh most vulnerable people in Manchester.

  The Manchester Ball will be held at The Hilton Hotel on Deansgate on Friday 16th November 2012. A booking form detailing sponsorship packages is available on request, please send an email to Enquiries@charityservice.org.uk

  After the sensational feedback from last year, I am pleased to announce that this year, we have the fabulous Pure performing on the night.  Pure is a premium collection of some of the UK’s top session singers and musicians in one band, whose singers perform regularly with Jools Holland, Basement Jaxx, Incognito and Pixy Lott. Their repertoire varies from good old Frank Sinatra all the way to Lady Gaga. For more information visit Pure
