VSA’s annual fundraising ball returns on Saturday 1st November 2025 at the Ardoe House Hotel & Spa, with Ithaca Energy continuing their generous support as principal sponsor for the third consecutive year.
As one of the North-east of Scotland’s leading social care charities, VSA is grateful for the generosity of sponsors, guests, and donors that help raise vital funds through an evening of celebration, entertainment, and community.
For 155 years, VSA has supported the most vulnerable individuals across Aberdeen City and Shire. The ball brings together supporters to recognise and honour the important work and raise essential funds to help us continue our mission.
Sue Freeth, chief executive of VSA, says: “We are delighted that Ithaca Energy are returning as our principal sponsor of our annual fundraising ball for the third year in a row. Their continued support enables us to deliver the vital work we do for our community. At this year’s ball, we are raising funds for Linn Moor School to upgrade their technology and equipment to provide the best of care for our students with complex needs.”
Sue continues: “I am also excited to share that this year our theme is ‘Tales of the Sea’. With the hugely positive impact that the Tall Ships event brought to our city this summer, we were inspired to dive into VSA and Aberdeen’s rich maritime history. It promises to be a meaningful and unforgettable evening.”
Luciano Vasques, chief executive officer of Ithaca Energy plc, says “Ithaca Energy is delighted to continue our support of VSA’s Annual Ball, in what I am sure will be an enthralling evening for all. I have witnessed first hand the powerful work undertaken by VSA at the Linn Moor School, and the care and detail that goes into providing the best of care for its students. It brings me great joy to know that this event will support the continued development of their experience at the school and I wish the VSA team great success with their fundraising efforts.”
