Hundreds of party people will champion the cause of a local charity next month.

The P.A.U.L. For Brain Recovery Glitz and Glam Charity Ball will raise funds and bring supporters together for an evening of entertainment, while raising awareness of the impact of brain injury and how the organisation can help.

The event is being sponsored by Language is Everything and takes place at the Mecure Grange Park Hotel on September 30.

It is the fourth time the charity has hosted the ball and it follows a three-year enforced break due to Covid-19.

Paul Spence, P.A.U.L. For Brain Recovery’s founder, said that it provided a great opportunity for supporters and businesses to get together and learn how their input has made a positive difference, while having a fantastic evening.

“We are thrilled to be holding the ball again and look forward to celebrating the work of the charity and raising valuable funds to help people with brain injuries rebuild their lives,” he said.

Paul launched the charity in 2016, a few years after suffering a serious brain injury as he struggled to find the specialist support he needed. P.A.U.L. For Brain Recovery has since helped many people and their families, and campaigns to raise awareness, improve services, and promote understanding of the often-misunderstood injury.

Lloyd Tidder, our managing director, said that he had been hugely impressed by Paul’s determination. “Paul works so hard to raise money, and the organisation is meeting a need that no others cover. We have been delighted to name them as our charity of the year for 2022/23.”

Tickets for the ball cost £40 per person or £400 for a table of 10. They include a three-course meal, live music by The Shine and a charity auction.
