A night to bring together our incredible colleagues, sponsors, supporters, and wider community for an unforgettable evening of Glamour and Giving.
Step into the spotlight with a private VIP red carpet entrance, leading to a sparkling drinks reception from 6.30pm in the elegant Pendle Bar.
This is an homage to the fierce, fabulous women of Hollywood’s golden age through a celebration of strength, resilience, and timeless style. Think satin, swing, and star power.
Your host for the evening, BBC Radio Lancashire legend John ‘Gilly’ Gilmore, will guide us through a night of elegance and entertainment.
Enjoy a delicious meal paired with fine wines, then let the evening sweep you away with:
- Live performances from swing sensation Arthur Geldard
- The electrifying Hit the Floor Band
- A late-night DJ to keep the dance floor alive
Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to support our mission through:
- An exclusive silent auction featuring luxury items and experiences
- A dazzling raffle with fabulous prizes
- Donation envelopes at each table
This unforgettable evening supports The Wish Centre, a Blackburn-based charity dedicated to empowering women and children affected by domestic abuse. Every ticket, every toast, every twirl on the dance floor helps fund life-changing programs; from crisis support and safe housing to long-term recovery and advocacy.
Together, we’re building futures free from fear.
The Wish?
To stop domestic violence.
To offer safety, hope, and healing.
To ensure every woman and child can live a life free from harm — and full of possibility.
