As the curtains closed on this year’s White Hat Ball, I couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. The White Hat Ball 2024 was not just an evening of glamour and sophistication; it was a testament to the incredible generosity and compassion that defines our community. The team over at NSPCC and the organising committee have pulled together something truly special and it is a privilege to have been able to continue playing a part in that success by partnering with them again this year.

Throughout the evening, I witnessed first-hand the power of community. From the incredible auction to the heartfelt speeches, each moment reinforced the strength of this community and its dedication to creating positive change. Community is what we are all about at Rela8 Group and we couldn’t be prouder to see so many members of our Technology Leaders Club playing their part for the greater good.

On behalf of the Rela8 Group & Technology Leaders Club, I would like to extend our deepest thanks to each and every one of you who attended this year’s White Hat Ball. With your support, we raised over £290,000 for the NSPCC & Childline. I myself am a father of three and many of our staff are starting their own families so it’s a cause that is incredibly close to all of our hearts. We are doubly proud to be able to say that £28,000 of that total was raised from the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen Wembley Boxes we donated to the auction. Your presence, enthusiasm, and support transformed a night of celebration into a powerful force for good. Together, we have accomplished something truly remarkable.

We hope to see you all at an upcoming event soon.
