Haydock Finance Partners With The Wish Centre To Deliver Charity Ball

Haydock Finance, specialists in asset finance, is excited to announce their continued partnership with The Wish Centre as the headline sponsor for one of the most anticipated events of the year. Following the tremendous success of last year’s event, the Hollywood-themed Wish Upon A Star, this year’s Secret Garden Spring Ball will take place at the Dunkenhalgh Hotel on Saturday 5th April 2025.
The Wish Centre, based in Blackburn for over 30 years, plays a vital role in providing support to victims of Domestic Abuse. With two refuge houses offering safe accommodation for women and children, they help over 3800 people each year, many in crisis and with no one else to turn to. This year’s Spring ball will once again raise funds to ensure that The Wish Centre can continue providing this critical support.
Debbie Hallam, Haydock’s Head of HR & Facilities, comments, “After the overwhelming success of last year’s event, we are thrilled to once again be the headline sponsor for The Wish Centre’s Ball. The charity’s incredible work is more important than ever, especially given the sharp rise in refuge referrals. Last year’s success highlighted how crucial these events are in raising the much-needed funds to ensure The Wish Centre can continue its important work.”
Rebekah Wilson of The Wish Centre said, “At The Wish Centre, we see firsthand the struggles faced by victims of domestic abuse, and the impact on their mental and physical well-being. Our charity, and the funds raised at this ball, provide a lifeline for these families. We are incredibly grateful for Haydock Finance’s support and the community’s generosity.”
“We are also honoured to announce that we are hoping to be joined by a number of distinguished VIPs at the event, including The Mayor, The Bishop, and Edwin Booth, the well-known founder of Booths Supermarket. Their presence will add even more prestige to what promises to be an unforgettable evening.”
After a delicious three-course meal, guests will enjoy an evening of entertainment hosted by the brilliant MC Andy Ashworth and DJ Carl, with further details on additional entertainment and the live band to be announced soon. The event will feature a fantastic raffle and auction, with incredible prizes up for grabs – including a special raffle that last year featured a vintage suitcase full of alcohol or a luxurious spa package. This year’s raffle promises to be just as exciting!
The dress code for the Secret Garden Spring Ball is black tie and/or florals, so be sure to dress to impress!
Tickets are available now, which include a sparkling drink on arrival, dinner, and entertainment throughout the evening.
