The Manchester Ball

The Manchester Ball was established in 1987, and has been hosting annual dinner dances each November since then, to raise money for a chosen local or national charity.

In 2011, The Manchester Ball will be held in aid of The Manchester Settlement. The Manchester Settlement is a charity set up in 1895 to address the effects of poverty in the neighbourhoods of East Manchester.

Today the charity still works with young people and children from some of the most deprived communities in England. Most of the young people they help are from disadvantaged and chaotic backgrounds with low self-esteem and without aspirations and their aim is to fully engage these young people who are in need of help and support to turn their lives around.

We are delighted to announce that once again we have secured Cloud 23 for the Gold and Silver Sponsor reception.

Due to the unprecedented demand for sponsor packages last year, we have been able to maintain the increased capacity for this year. Don’t leave it too late though, as demand will again be great in 2011.
