The black-tie evening saw guests dressed beautifully in array of beautiful gowns and tailored tuxedos. Everyone tucked into a three-course dinner which included a delicious 21st birthday cupcake for dessert. There were fabulous vocal performances from West End stars Mazz Murray, Carl Mullaney, Emma Linders and Norman Bowman which put everyone in high spirits for the evening. Our performers were adorned in colourful sequins and Norman even wore a kilt, creating a lot of interest. A particular highlight of the night was when guests were flinging their napkins around as Norman belted out Tom Jones’ classic hit, Delilah!

A raffle, silent auction, and live auction all helped to boost total funds raised from the evening with a wonderful selection of prizes up for grabs, all of which had been very generously donated. Top prizes included a private dinner for six at Britain’s oldest wine and spirits merchant, Berry Bros and Rudd, a walk-on part in the hit West End show, Mamma Mia! at London’s Novello theatre, a five-night getaway to St Ives, and an official Chelsea FC football signed by the 2024/25 squad. Several generous supporters also made one-off monetary pledges on the night.

The evening wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our fantastic corporate sponsors, Merkur and The Oakwood – thank you both.

A huge thank you to everyone who was part of the event, helping to raise vital funds so Momentum can continue to be there for the next 21 years and beyond.
