Taking place on Friday 3rd February, the Awards Dinner will raise crucial funds to support the charity’s work in reducing reoffending rates through delivering hospitality training in prisons as well as supporting prisoners upon release to find accommodation and full-time employment.
Previous charity balls have seen the amount raised increase year-on-year and the events have now collectively raised over £200,000. Guests will enjoy a four-course menu using locally sourced ingredients, an online auction and table raffle featuring prizes donated by the sponsors.
The Clink graduates will tell attendees how the scheme has helped to ‘transform’ their lives. The occasion will also help to further promote The Clink’s training projects across His Majesty’s Prison Estate.
Vic Laws MBE, The Clink Group Restaurant Ambassador and chairman of the Ball Committee, said: “I am delighted that we can hold the charity ball at the Royal Lancaster again and we are back to our usual date after the pandemic. During that time, The Clink Charity has suffered from not being able to open the restaurants thus restricting the ability to support all of our graduates.
“We hope that many will support our charity ball as a good way of raising money for us and seeing and hearing about the achievements of our graduates, whilst having an enjoyable evening. However, this couldn’t take place without the support of our sponsors, Bidfood, Booker, HIT Training and Johnsons Hotel Linen."
Tickets to the ball are priced at £140 per person or a table for ten people can be purchased for £1,300. To book tickets, visit here.
