More than 150 guests helped raise more than £15,000 at a charity ball in aid of a Morecambe charity for young people with disabilities.
Unique Kidz and Co held its annual Charity Ball last Saturday at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium, home of Morecambe Football Club.
The event attracted more than 155 attendees, including prominent community leaders, business professionals and dedicated supporters.
The ball, returning after a rest year and in a 'disco' theme, was a night to remember.
Guests were treated to a three course meal prepared by the Morecambe FC hospitality team, enjoyed a surprise performance by a group of young adults who attend the charity, and a very popular silent disco.
Through generous contributions, including a large amount of sponsorship from local businesses, including main sponsors Lingwood Security Management, the event successfully raised more than £15,900.
This will directly support the charity’s ongoing efforts to provide services, support and resources that help change the lives of hundreds of young people with disabilities and their families.
This total makes the Disco Ball the charity’s most successful gala event to date.
"We are immensely grateful to everyone who attended and supported this year's ball," said Jordan Halpin, head of fundraising at the Woodhill Lane-based charity.
"The overwhelming generosity and community spirit displayed are truly inspiring. Together, we are making a meaningful difference."
A spokesperson for main sponsors Lingwood Security said: “We believe in supporting our local community, and we’re honoured to be the main sponsor of this year’s Charity Disco Ball hosted by Unique Kidz and Co.
"We have been counting the days until this incredible event and look forward to celebrating with you, the amazing people who make our community so special.”
Jane Halpin and Denise Armer, the charity's co-founders and trustees, said: “We had such a great night celebrating with supporters old and new.
"We are so grateful to everyone who has supported our journey; from starting with an idea across a kitchen table, driven by the desire to create something special for our own children, to now – owning our own building and with exciting expansion plans! We couldn’t have done it without our community of supporters, and we will need your help again so we can help more young people.”
The charity thanked sponsors, volunteers, and attendees for their invaluable support.
