St Patrick’s Day Charity Ball Fun!

On the 16th March 2013, the With Kids team were dressed to impress as they attended the 11th annual St Patrick’s Day Charity Ball held in the Marriott Hotel, Glasgow.

The ball takes place each year to raise vital funds for children’s charities across the Glasgow area, and we were very grateful to be chosen as one of the organisations to benefit from this year’s funds in which over £35,000 was raised. Thank you to all who helped and organised the event. Your support is invaluable to us!

A lovely dinner was enjoyed by all, and St Roch’s Ceilidh Band ensured that our feet never stopped tapping! We were thoroughly entertained by young Irish dancers from the Steward School of Dancing alongside a band called Funk Nation who definitely got us in the mood for a party!

There was even a cartoonist there to ensure that all the guests never forgot the evening by drawing very glamorous pictures! An auction was also held where some very desirable pieces of artwork were up for grabs, and there was no shortage of bids!

Everyone had a fantastic evening, and there couldn’t have been a more positive way to raise money for so many worthwhile children’s charities. Thanks again to everyone involved, and we hope you all had a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

With Kids Ladies Lunch - 29Glasgow

With Kids would like to invite you to be part of our inaugural Ladies Lunch, taking place in 29 Private Members Club on Sunday 27th January 2013. With Kids seek to break the cycle of deprivation by intervening in the lives of young children with play therapy schemes that seek to strengthen their self esteem and bring out their innate gifts.

The Ladies Lunch promises to be an afternoon you and your guests will not forget and you will help raise funds for some of Glasgow and Edinburgh’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable children.

The afternoon, hosted by With Kids Ambassador Kathleen McDermott, will begin with a champagne reception, followed by a delicious 2-course lunch, and will include entertainment by the fabulous Edward Reid - semifinalist on Britain’s Got Talent and tribute band Could it Be Take That.

The event will be organised by Fatbuzz in aid of With Kids, the charity that seeks to offer a new approach to help vulnerable children and families.

There are a variety of ways in which you can help. You could become a sponsor for the afternoon or you could take a table. A table for 10 is priced at £500 or individual tickets can be bought for £50.

If you are unable to attend perhaps, you could help in some other way? We are looking for auction and raffle prizes or maybe you would simply like to make a donation?

To book a ticket, or table, please email events@fatbuzz.com

You can now follow With Kids Glasgow and Edinburgh on Twitter, where you can keep up to date with our latest news and information.
