Aberdeen based charity VSA, is seeking support from the public to help with it’s annual Changing Lives Ball.
VSA’s Changing Lives Ball, will take place on Saturday, November 2 at the Ardoe House Hotel with 370 guests in attendance. This year, guests are in for a glamourous evening as VSA transports them back in time to the ‘Golden Era of Hollywood.’ The night promises to be one filled with fun, laughter and lots of dancing as guests party away with the UK’s top party and celebrity favourite band Madhen.
Jennifer Mitchell, director of external relations, said: “Every year we hold our highly anticipated Changing Lives Ball, pivotal to the success of the evening is our raffle, silent and live auctions, whereby we have money can't buy experiences or items that encourage our guests to bid for the auction lots with the aim of raising substantial funds for the work that we do. We are always incredibly humbled by the support we receive year on year from local businesses and individuals and we are asking people to step forward and help us by donating a vouchers, hampers, bottles, or experiences that will aid our fundraising efforts. It is with thanks to the money raised we can continue to provide the best of care so that people can live the best of lives.”
Local businesses Apache, Romex, General & Technical, John Mutch Building Services, GSR Healthcare and Ardoe House Hotel have all stepped forward to support VSA through sponsorship to help make the ball a success.
All monies raised from the event will go towards VSA’s Changing Lives Campaign. There is a growing demand for mental wellbeing services, with one in three adults being diagnosed with a mental health condition in Aberdeen alone every year. As Aberdeen’s largest and trusted provider of mental health services, VSA are more than aware of the pressures this brings and as a result, have plans to build an ambitious purpose-built mental wellbeing facility in the heart of Aberdeen to support adults on their journey to recovery. The campaign which has raised over £2.3m to date is well underway to meeting the £3.2m that is needed.
