The October Club

N/A, N/A, GB • Not Available Employees
Non-Profit

In 1987, moved by the plight of Leukaemia sufferers, a few of us working in the City decided to hold a fundraising dinner at The Savoy. This proved so successful that we decided it should become an annual event every October - hence The October Club.For over 30 years our committee have chosen a small UK charity for which the funds raised will prove transformational.We have now raised just over £10 million with substantial benefits to the charities we have supported including kick-starting groundbreaking research, raising profiles and enabling brave expansion plans. It is our goal to help innovative fledgling charities reach that next level. The October Club Dinner, attended by approximately 400 largely City-based individuals, is the City's Equity Business "Trade association event". A pre-sold out event every year, previously attended by HRH The Duke of Cambridge, to receive an invitation is something quite special. The dinner is also complemented by The October Club Ascot Race Day, held in July, a much welcomed warm-up to the main event.We are enormously grateful to all those who support our efforts – whether by sponsorship, advertising in our programmes, donating prizes for the auction, attending the evening, or giving generously.
