The 2019 Care Sector Ball looks set to raise its target of £250,000 for the Alzheimer’s Society and The Care Workers Charity, with over 50 different care sector organisations now signed up to support the annual event.

Over 500 people will attend the glittering fundraising event in The Great Room at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Saturday 28th September.

Supporters already confirmed include CareTech and CareTech Foundation, who are the lead supporters; Coate Water Care; Welltower; Lawrence Baker; Majesticare, and ihl uk.
The special event, kickstarted last year by Hallmark Care Homes’ Chair and Chair of Care England Avnish Goyal, will be hosted by MC and original ‘Stig’ Perry McCarthy, and will this year feature a silent auction and a live auction hosted by auctioneer Jonny Gould. Throughout the evening, guests can also enjoy a four-course meal, open bar and live entertainment.

Speakers at the event will include Chief Executive of the Care Tech Foundation, Jonathan Freeman; Chief Executive of the Alzheimer’s Society, Jeremy Hughes CBE; and CEO of The Care Workers Charity, Richard Muncaster; all of whom will discuss the incredible impact this event has on the sector as a whole.

Avnish Goyal said: “After last year’s successful launch event where we raised £145,000, we are incredibly excited to be hosting the second dedicated charity event for the care sector which will help key charities that care providers and industry suppliers have an invested interest in supporting.”

Chief Executive of the Alzheimer’s Society, Jeremy Hughes CBE, said: “I’m thrilled that Alzheimer’s Society has been asked to be beneficiary of this wonderful event. It’s really inspiring to see the care sector uniting to improve the lives of people with dementia.

“There remains grave inequality in the availability and quality of support available to the 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK. While we continue to invest in cutting-edge research, campaigning and social change, we’re launching a new service, Dementia Connect, that will offer personalised support to everyone living with dementia in England, Northern Ireland and Wales. Your presence at this year’s Care Sector Fundraising Ball will help us to achieve this vision – and we, along with the millions affected by dementia in the UK, are hugely grateful for your support.”
