We’d like to say a massive thanks so much to everyone that came to our Gala dinner and awards night at the stunning Titanic Hotel in Liverpool on Saturday October 19th.
It was a fantastic night with all our Foundation Partners and Friends which saw over 230 guests come together to celebrate the support they have shown the Foundation and the brilliant things we have been able to achieve, and deliver due to that support.
It was also a night to celebrate our Founder Andy’s “Being Alive Day” which was the 15th Anniversary of when he suffered life changing injuries while on patrol in Afghanistan back in 2009.
The event, compered by the hilarious Pete Emmett was a huge success and we raised a substantial amount of money on the night, allowing us to deliver more Mental Health Counselling, Addiction support services and Physical Activity Initiatives here at the Foundation.
A special thanks goes out to Andy Williams, a former Veteran who shared his story of struggles with Mental Health and Addiction and how he overcame them.
Also to Hanna Joy for her amazing singing and for keeping us entertained all night and up on the dance floor! And to Showkings for their fantastic AV support and set design.
Finally, a huge thanks to our Silent Auction from Colin Beresford and all our sponsors on the night – Menzies Distribution, TIP, Muse Developments, New Balance, MCR, Money & Me, Integral Legal Costs, Cannington Shaw, Cinema Bar, Bouquet Residence, and Shove Media.
