Our fabulous Summer Charity Ball will be great fun and raise funds for our chosen charity, Transaid.
There will be a delicious meal, followed by live music and dancing. Lots of other surprises are planned, so it will be a night to remember! The dress code is 'dressy' and don't forget you'll need to be able to dance in those shoes...
Like all our events, the Summer Charity Ball will be a superb networking opportunity to see colleagues you know from throughout our industry and meet friendly new people.
