A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, supported us, donated, danced, laughed, and helped us honour Joel, Pat and Ade so beautifully. Your kindness and generosity continue to keep their memories shining bright.

To our amazing trustees Karen and Jaz  thank you. And a special heartfelt thank you to Matt, Vicky and Mel for your outstanding support and dedication.
We’re also so grateful to every volunteer, sponsor and supporter whose hard work and contributions made this night truly magical.

A big thank you to Ranesh, our talented pianist, our special guest Connie Talbot for her stunning performance, the brilliant singing waiters, and our fantastic live band Fireworks who kept the dancefloor alive from start to finish. The auction and awards brought even more sparkle to a night already full of meaning.

We were especially proud to include a tribute in our brochure honouring all those who never came home, a poignant reminder of why we continue this journey and why their legacies will always matter.

Thank you to Walsall FC for your wonderful hospitality the perfect home for #10YearsOn.

It truly was an amazing evening. The final fundraising total is being counted, we can’t wait to share it with you.
