Join us at this year’s annual Inspire Ball, an unforgettable evening of elegance, entertainment & empowerment!
Join us for Inspire’s most anticipated event of the year, our Annual Charity Ball, as we return to the stunning Hangar at Milsoms Kesgrave Hall on Friday, 27th November 2026.
This unforgettable evening is more than just a glamorous night out, it’s an opportunity to celebrate, connect, and create change.
Over 2,500 young people need the support of Inspire each year. We provide them with the tools and guidance to move away from an uncertain future, and empower them to discover their purpose, and fulfil their potential.
We believe every aspect of wellbeing, be it mental, physical, emotional, or social, is vital to make sure young people have the chance to take on life with confidence.
For every £1k raised, 48 young people gain access to a qualified councillor through Inspire.
We can’t wait to welcome you to a night of glitz, giving, and gratitude. Mark your calendars, gather your friends, and help us make this year’s Charity Ball the most impactful one yet.
