Seven hundred people from across the grocery industry gathered at the Hilton on Park Lane for GroceryAid’s prestigious annual Diamond Ball last Friday (4th March).
The evening was a huge success, raising more than £280,000, enabling the charity to support at least 187 beneficiaries in the coming 12 months.
The Diamond Ball was attended by key industry figures with the welcome speech given by departing President of the Fundraising Committee, Jason Tarry, Chief Product Officer, Tesco.
During the evening, GroceryAid recognised the contribution of volunteers who have given their time for at least ten years to help the charity in its work. The GroceryAid Hall of Fame is the charity’s way of saying thank you to these committed volunteers. Those inducted were Natasha Carvill, Mick Corrigan, June Ghilene, Malcolm Greenwood, Nic MacLennan, Declan McMahon and John Smethurst.
A selection of photos from the evening can be seen on the GroceryAid website.
Next year’s Diamond Ball will take place on 3rd March 2017. Reservations are now being taken. Please contact GroceryAid to find out more and register your interest.
