Get set for the Diverse Abilities Gala Ball

Limited tickets for November’s charity gala event of the year.

Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s disability charity, returns to Poole’s Lighthouse for its popular Gala Ball this November. Limited tickets are still available for the event, held on Saturday 21 November.

Tickets are available to purchase for both groups and individuals, with the funds raised helping some 2,000 children and adults supported by the charity across Dorset every year.

The evening offers a sparkling drinks reception, a three-course dinner, live entertainment, fundraising activities, and the chance to win an exquisite diamond necklace.

Sponsored by Franses Jewellers, the Gala Ball has become one of the charity’s most anticipated annual events. Additional support comes from Colten Care, Dorset Digital Print, and Forelle Estates, ensuring fundraising efforts can make an even greater impact.

Mariana Swain, events executive at Diverse Abilities, commented: “The Gala Ball is the highlight of our year, bringing together supporters, businesses and friends of the charity for a fantastic evening raising funds for Diverse Abilities. Every ticket purchased helps us continue making every day better for the children and adults we support across Dorset. We can’t wait to welcome everyone for a very special night.”
