‘We are over the moon to be going ahead with the biggest fundraiser in our events calendar after having to cancel the event this year due to the pandemic. The Big Kids Ball has been a firm favourite for our supporters for many years now. We want to bring a fun, lively, exciting event to Aberdeen whilst raising funds for some of the most disadvantaged children and young people in our community. We would encourage people to book with us soon and take advantage of our early bird offer as we anticipate that this will be a popular event” Katie Kyle – Head of Fundraising and Marketing

The funds raised from the event will enable Befriend a Child to continue their befriending programme for local children growing up in difficult life circumstances.
