Fantastic fundraising at the SCCT Charity Ball 2024!

Written By Our Tiny Marketing Co

This year the annual SmithCorp Charitable Trust black tie and dinner took place on Saturday 23rd November in the heart of Bristol. As well as being a chance for colleagues from across teams in London, Stockton, Exeter, Bristol and Truro to come together, it was a fantastic evening of celebration and raising money for our inspiring charity partners.

The event, hosted by our fantastic Group Development Director Dan Green, comprised of a 3-course-dinner, our SCCT raffle and a live band and DJ. In between the raffle we were shown about the life-changing work that our charity partners do, from providing hospice care and professional family support services, to expanding financial access to underserved communities around the world.

We were also shown a special video about our 2024 SmithCorp relief trip to Nepal which was accompanied by an emotional speech from two of our volunteers, Cameron and Harriet, who told us about their experiences and what they took away from their volunteering trip.

In the run-up to the ball, raffle tickets were sold in aid of our chosen charities, with prizes ranging from designer sunglasses and theatre tickets to an XBOX, a European weekend city break and the grand prize of a 5* holiday! With 166 SmithCorp guests in attendance - all dressed up in black-tie- it was sure to be a glamorous, social evening. But, thanks to everyone’s generous donations, we raised over £55,200 for our charity partners, topping last year’s total by nearly £2.5k!

This staggering sum means that we can continue to support the incredible work that The RNLI, The Wave Project, South West Children’s Hospice and Kiva do in supporting, saving and changing lives across the UK and worldwide.

To everyone who made this event a success, including Bristol Harbour Hotel & Spa for their stunning venue and team, the generous sponsors who provided 5 star (literally) raffle prizes, and our charitable colleagues, we extend our heartfelt thanks. We look forward to seeing what we can achieve together next year.
