Join us for the Downton & Ali Associates annual charity ball!
We’re preparing for one of our most anticipated events of the year again and we want you to help us make it a night to remember!
Taking place at Dartford Football Club on Friday 6th September, our annual charity ball is set to be another wonderful evening of dinner, drinks, dancing and, most importantly, fundraising.
This year we will be supporting children’s bereavement charity, Holding On Letting Go (HOLG), and The Openwork Partnership Foundation. As many of you know, Downton & Ali Associates practice partner, Brian Downton, has been a HOLG trustee for many years. Their invaluable work supports families coping with the death of a loved one. We are also a long-time supporter of the Openwork Foundation, helping disadvantaged children.
We would love our valued clients, suppliers and colleagues to support the event – buy a single ticket, or book a whole table for your team, friends and family. You can also bid for a lot at our fantastic auction and try your luck in the raffle.
And if your business is interested in helping to boost fundraising and make the night an even bigger success, we would love to hear from you:
- Donate an auction prize
- Donate a raffle prize
- A £250 sponsorship, including 2 x tickets
In return, you’ll receive social media mentions and a thank you on the night.

Venue: Dartford Football Club, Grassbanks, Dartford, Kent DA1 1RT
