The Dream Ball successfully took place once again on 1st November 2018 at the stunning Lancaster House. We were delighted to welcome our new ambassador, TV personality Georgia Toffolo as well as singing legend Katrina from Katrina and the Waves who performed her greatest hits including ‘Walking on Sunshine.’ In addition we were thrilled to be able to have song and dance troupe ‘West End Kids’ perform for us. The importance of taking our responsibility to make the big changes in society that are needed was highlighted and once again The Dream Ball is proud to support the Big Change charity which seeks to tackle the root cause of young people that get left behind in difficult circumstances.

Singing sensation Natalie Imbruglia, BBC’s 2016 Apprentice winner Alana Spencer and Minister Richard Harrington MP were amongst the guests in attendance at the beautiful Lancaster House to support this cause to improve the life chances of young people from difficult circumstances. We were once again very thankful to our Patron – Rt Hon Sir Oliver Letwin MP; our title sponsor – Associated British Ports and also Bentley Motors for providing their stunning cars as transport to the after party. Dream Ball Founder & Chairman Annesley Abercorn said, “I am thrilled that everyone I have spoken to who attended this year’s event had a fabulous time and in aid of a very important charity in our country. Big Change has a different approach to philanthropic support whereby they invest in projects at their embryonic stage and scale them up to a national scale in order to make a hugely positive impact on young people’s lives. I am very pleased that Big Change is our beneficiary charity and am very excited about what we can do at next year’s Dream Ball due to take place on Thursday 1st November 2018.”
