“We are over the moon to be sponsored by WM Donald and able to go ahead with the biggest fundraiser in our events calendar. The Big Kids Ball has been a firm favourite for our supporters for many years now and this year’s theme is Carnival. 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. Having the support of WM Donald will make this possible.” Katie Kyle – Head of Fundraising and Marketing. Befriend a Child

The Carnival Ball, being held at The Chester Hotel on Friday 27^th May 2022, promises a night of live entertainment, a delicious three course dinner, a live band, not to mention the opportunity to take part in raffles and the auction. For a limited time, tickets are on sale for £85pp or £850 for a table of ten.

“We are delighted to be Platinum Sponsors for Befriend a Child’s Carnival Ball for the first time. We are looking forward to a great night and helping raise money for local disadvantaged children” Elaine Donald – Director WM Donald Ltd

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. The charity’s programmes and projects have been a lifeline for the young people they support, especially during the last two challenging years.
