Just want to thank everyone who attended our Invested In People, Autumn Ball last night.

You were amazing and made the night so special for us. So
many beautiful people inside and out made it a major success.

We raised over £1100 on the night, which is a fantastic achievement and sets us up for another 6 months. It provides so many more options to people struggling, especially during the winter months.

I really want to thank our sponsors listed below, as with their financial contribution, we made the evening magical and know any money made on the night is profit for good causes.

Salon 39
DJB Plumbing and Heating

A little bit late however I want to thank The National Lottery Community Fund, Soccer Rockz, Goals AT7 and the Foleshill Community Hub for there amazing support in the summer holidays.

Invested In People put on a football camp for over 30 Children in the local area from different backgrounds . Children made new friends, got to spend their days playing football in a safe environment and learnt many new skills.

Due to the lotteries generosity we were able to give the Children new kit, boots, pads, water bottles, food, toiletries and most of all an experience they could remember.

As always the Soccer Rockz coaches were fantastic developers of the children’s footballing ability and also excellent role models to the kids.

At7 provided fantastic facilities indoor and outside so the environment was safe for the Children to enjoy themselves.

Once again with the support of the Foleshill hub we were able to get so many local children involved who may not have had a chance like this previously.

All together it was a highly successful 2 weeks.

Just a massive thank you to the sponsors of our charity ball. I am fortunate enough to have personally dealt with all of the following companies, and would highly recommend every single one.

There have been difficult times, but with their guidance and knowledge, they have supported me through. They have an efficient team of individuals, who answer my calls and emails quickly - which helps put my mind at rest. I would recommend connecting with them if you have any accounting issues.

DJB Plumbing and Heating - we are all affected one way or another at the moment with the rise of energy prices. Dean is a local tradesman who is accommodating with his customers, extremely meticulous with the work he carries out, and offers a fair price for the service provided. Dean has recently completed work for my family, so I have first-hand experience of his skills.
