Event industry foundation, Meeting Needs celebrated its best fund-raising result in eight years at its annual showcase event at the Radisson Blu Bloomsbury last week.
For the first time since 2016, the current year income has topped £150,000, with a further £1,460 raised on the night.
The event connected 110 trustees, founders, donors, fund-raisers, beneficiaries and sponsors, who included Axiom providing the venue and hospitality, Cvent sponsoring the Royal Parks Half Marathon team, and Media Mirror, providing video and photography on the night.
Chris Parnham, chair of the foundation said: “Our aim is to channel all fundraising activity within the industry through Meeting Needs and then award these funds to small charities, championed or supported by colleagues in our industry. We like to help small charities, the ones who find it so hard to raise funds or awareness, and some of those wonderful charities are in the room tonight.”
