Solihull Together, Lady Luck Charity Ball, 13 July 2012

The Lady Luck theme has been chosen as the date for your diaries is Friday, 13th July 2012.
The tickets are keenly priced at £37 per head which includes a bubbly reception, 3 course dinner and entertainment including live music from the fantastic Partners in Crime who brought the house down last year. Plus you can try your luck at our games of chance to help local charities win big!

£1000 a month
That’s the amount of money, on average, that SUSTAiN’s Solihull Together fundraising activity is raising to support local voluntary & community groups in Solihull.
Every penny goes to charities, voluntary & community groups across the borough to continue to provide essential services and support for local people.
Funds are distributed twice a year in small grants of up to £500 with applications judged by an independent panel made up from representatives of the Private, Public and Voluntary sectors.

Solihull Together Sponsored Walk 2012
We are still finalising the date and route so look out for more information. This year we are trying to come up with a circular route that gets you back to where you started and your car.
Solihull Together Sponsored Walk 2011
The 3rd annual Solihull Together walk took place on Sunday 9th of October with over 70 participants making the pilgrimage from Solihull 6th Form college to Yorkswood Primary School in Kingshurst a distance of 12 miles. The most intrepid walker was Frank (pictured) who completed the final 6 mile stretch. Frank is the one with two more legs than the other walkers.
The walk raised around £3000 for local groups and Solihull Together. SUSTAiN would like to thank and congratulate everyone who took part plus the team of people who volunteered to act as marshalls.

Solihull SUSTAiN is please to report that a total of around £6,800 was raised at the second annual Charity Ball this July. SUSTAiN would like to thank all those who attended and all of those organisations, individuals and companies who donated their time or raffle prizes.
Special thanks to the generous sponsorship from the team at the St John’s Hotel, Solihull.
