This is a past Event, but you can still donate to the charities who pitched, learn more below.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Connector PLUS event at the McKay Williamson Gallery at The OWO, and for the kind feedback shared since.
Set against a powerful historical backdrop and surrounded by inspiring art, the evening gave us the opportunity to support three exceptional charities. We were also very grateful to Richard Williamson for his generous hospitality.
This was the second time we have supported each of these organisations, and together we raised £45,550 on the night, making excellent progress towards their £20,000 targets.
Below, you’ll find the amount raised for each charity, along with links to watch their pitch recordings and access the pledge form. If you were unable to attend, or would like to add to an existing pledge, there is still time to support them.
