On the night, there was a guest speaker who detailed her experiences as a breast cancer sufferer and the support the charity had provided her with, plus a video was shown about the charity’s work. The event was held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow with a three-course dinner, a variety of entertainment and featured a range of fundraising initiatives and games, including raffles and an auction with prizes donated by a number of local businesses. Sponsorship was secured for the event from several companies and along with many returning guests, ticket sales were also promoted via a range of social media groups. There were in the region of 200 guests and feedback on the event was very positive. **5** Financial review Please see attached accounts. Future plans In October 2025 Charity Heroes will partner with and deliver an evening fundraising event 'The Enchanted Ball, at the Marriott Hotel in Glasgow. Additional marketing support and sponsorship has been secured.
