We did it – our first fundraising event!

After months of planning, weeks of organisation and days of high-octane stress, we are delighted to report that our first-ever fundraising event took place on Monday night. We were thrilled to see so many friends of SEND in the same room at the same time, from trusted suppliers and wholesale partners to coffee shop regulars – as well as meeting new friends and supporters. The atmosphere was fantastic, with awards getting the evening underway followed by a very competitive auction, proceeds from which will go directly towards funding our mentoring programme and charitable activities.

We’re all having a lie-down to recover but wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended, and give a special shoutout to our sponsors, without whom the event simply wouldn’t have happened:

• Host sponsor – The Newman Hotel

• Food sponsor – Bennett Hay

• Drinks sponsor – Quadmark

• Drinks suppliers – The Modest Merchant, 40FT Brewery and Ignition Brewery
