An evening of entertainment and generosity has raised £3,000 in support of two impactful charities, Brave Journeys and All Life Chances.
All Life Chances is dedicated to strengthening communities and creating opportunities for children, young people, and families facing disadvantage. Working across Aberdeen, the organisation partners with local charities, schools, and community groups to provide practical and financial support.
Through the development of community hubs and initiatives, All Life Chances helps break down barriers, build resilience, and ensure access to opportunities, creating lasting, positive change for those who need it most.

Brave Journeys provides compassionate mental health support for children, young people, adults, and families navigating life’s challenges. Through counselling and therapeutic services, they create safe, supportive spaces where individuals can feel heard, process difficult experiences, and begin to heal. Their work empowers people to build resilience and move forward with confidence and hope.
Guests enjoyed a well-organised evening featuring casino tables, where fun money was used to play, alongside a raffle that contributed to the fundraising total. The event created a lively and inclusive atmosphere, with the shared goal of supporting these important initiatives.
The £3,000 raised will be split equally between the two charities, helping to fund their ongoing work and extend their reach within the community.
