Diverse Abilities, the Dorset-based disability charity, is set to host its eighth Gala Ball at Poole’s Lighthouse on Saturday, 16 November. Sponsored by Franses Jewellers of Bournemouth, the event aims to raise funds for the 1,500 children and adults the charity supports across Dorset each year.

Tickets are still available for both groups and individuals. They are priced at £110 per person or £1,000 for a table of 10.

Attendees can look forward to a glamorous night starting with a glittering drinks reception at 6pm. The evening will feature fine dining, entertainment, games, and live music.

Demi Tarrant, Events Executive at Diverse Abilities, said: “The Gala Ball is without a doubt one of the highlights of the calendar. It’s the perfect opportunity to get dressed up, enjoy a delicious three-course meal, and dance the night away to our live band and DJ, all whilst raising money to support children and adults with disabilities in Dorset.”

Demi added: “A big thank you goes to our generous sponsors as we would not be able to host this event without their support. We’re so grateful for the support of Franses Jewellers, Colten Care, and Forelle Estates.”

The evening will also include surprise entertainment, a live auction, and opportunities to win great prizes.
