The Awards Dinner aims to raise crucial funds to support the charity’s work in reducing reoffending rates through the delivery of hospitality training in prisons. Previous charity balls have seen the amount increase year-on-year and have now raised a combined total of over £150,000.  

Guests will enjoy a four-course menu using locally sourced ingredients, entertainment from The Executives, an auction and table raffle with prizes contributed by sponsors and supporters. The evening will also be a chance to hear from several Clink graduates on how the scheme has helped ‘transform’ their lives.  

Vic Laws, 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.

“We know that things have been very difficult for our sponsors but we are pleased that they are able to support us once again. Please join us and help raise funds to keep up the important work that has been achieved over the last 12 years.”

Individual tickets to the ball are priced at £140 per person or a table of ten can be purchased for £1300. To book tickets, visit here.
