Gala Ball returns for Dorset’s Disability Charity

Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s disability charity, returns with it’s popular Gala Ball at Poole’s Lighthouse this November, which will help make a difference to children and adults with disabilities in the county by raising vital funds throughout the night.

The event, which is the charity’s sixth Gala Ball will be held on Saturday 26 November and follows a two-year break during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sponsored by Franses Jewellers of Bournemouth, the event offers a glittering drinks reception from 6pm ahead of a spectacular night of fine dining, live music and DJ which promises to keep everyone dancing until late.

Lucy Rowley, events fundraising officer at Diverse Abilities, commented: “It’s without a doubt one of the highlights of the year. It’s a great opportunity for a glamourous night out, with glitz, fantastic dining, and a chance to get up on the dance floor. By attending our event you will be doing something amazing for extraordinary children and adults with disabilities in Dorset.

“A big thank you goes to our generous sponsors Franses Jewellers of Bournemouth. We would not be able to host this event without their support.”

The evening also includes other surprise entertainment, a live auction, and the opportunity to win great prizes throughout the night.

Tickets are available to purchase for both groups and individuals, with funds raised helping the 1,500 children and adults supported by the charity across Dorset every year. Tickets for the Gala Ball are £85 per person or £800 for a table of 10.
