inspired ball
A huge thank you to Lorraine Stevenson and Claire Nicholl who
planned and hosted an incredible night at the High Rollers Foundation
Ball in Belfast.
Thanks to the generosity and support of everyone involved, the event
raised just under £18,000 on the night. With the amazing 50% uplift
from The Openwork Partnership this brings the total raised to an
outstanding £26,760
These funds will go a long way in supporting grants for vulnerable adults
and children, making a real difference in our communities.
A huge thank you to the fantastic host, award winning broadcaster,
Connor Phillips, as well as Rob Barker and Liam Richards for the
welcome and introductions they made.
Inspiring charity speakers: Lisa Willingham (Openwork Foundation), Lisa
Strutt, (Northern Ireland Pancreatic Cancer) and Michael McGoldrick
(First Steps Women’s Centre, Dungannon) shared the real-life impact of
the Foundation’s grant programmes.
And sincere thanks to the generous sponsors who made the night
possible: Omnis Investments, Triple Point, Progressive Building
Society, Octopus, XPS Self Invested Pensions, NFP, an Aon company,
Quilter Cheviot and Milecross Financial
Finally, thank you to everyone who attended, donated, played in the
casino, bought an auction prize and supported the Foundation, helping
to make it a wonderful evening. Your kindness and generosity are truly
appreciated.
