A Night to Remember: Headway Leicester Gala Dinner Raises Over £6,500
In October 2025, 192 guests gathered for the Headway Leicester Annual Fundraising Gala Dinner, an evening filled with laughter, inspiration, and incredible generosity. The night featured a variety of fundraising activities, including a live auction, silent auction, raffle, and Neuro Grid, which together raised over £6,500! These funds will make a huge difference in supporting the charity’s vital work with people affected by brain injury.
We are deeply grateful to the many individuals and organisations who donated prizes and supported our fundraising activities. Special mentions go to Tim from Kasabian and Muzzy Izzet, whose contributions were particularly standout, as well as the generous support from:
- All Wrapped Up & All Dressed Up of Lutterworth
- Thurlaston Airgun and Archery
- Templespa Specialist Jo Walkden
- Lily Dent for her Koi painting
- ASDA and their community champion Beth Domingo
- Jane Nickerson and Darren Rees
- Artist Martin Lever
- Samworth Brothers , Karen Holdsworth, Leicester Tiger Club
- Leicester Racecourse
- Tom James Golf
A huge thank you also goes to our sponsors, whose support makes it possible for brain injury clients, their families, and friends to attend and enjoy the evening, while also sponsoring the event as a whole: Affinity Law, Fletchers Solicitors, Lovell, and Nelsons. We’ve had a fantastic partnership with these sponsors all year:
- Connie Pratt from Affinity Law becomes Headway Leicester’s first ambassador
- Daniele Young of Nelsons, also a Headway trustee, played a key role in the evening
- Fletchers Solicitors sponsored many of the table goodies
- James Phillips of Lovell hosted the live auction
- Winstanley House donated a prize and sponsored tickets
