READING's Hilton Hotel is celebrating 10 years in the community with a charity ball in September.

Supporting different causes, the Hilton Reading Charity Ball on September 7 will be raising money for two children's charities, DM Thomas Foundation for Young People and Dingley's Promise.

DM Thomas Foundation for Young People is committed to transforming the lives of sick, disabled and disadvantaged young people in communities across the UK.

By providing specialist equipment and facilities, as well as important training, support and vital care, the foundation works to improve the education, health and wellbeing of young people to achieve their full potential.

Berkshire-based Dingley’s Promise is committed to delivering life-changing support to under 5s with additional needs and disabilities, as well as supporting their families by providing specialist learning through play, family training and advice.

With table tickets for the black-tie ball selling fast, guests at the Hilton Reading Charity Ball can look forward to a glamorous evening of live entertainment, a sparkling canape reception and a four-course dinner in support of the two charities.

Hilton Reading has long supported both the foundation and Dingley’s Promise through its fundraising and various events.

Since 2016, their charity ball has raised £12,546 to support young people in communities across Reading and Berkshire as well as the foundation.

More recently, the hotel donated more than £3,000 to provide equipment, toys and resources to support children's learning and development at Dingley's three centres.

John McLaughlin, area general manager at Hilton Reading, said: "Celebrating 10 years of Hilton Reading in the local community is a fantastic opportunity for us to bring our team member, suppliers, partners and friends together for an exciting evening and to raise as much money as possible. "Through our partnerships with the foundation and Dingley’s Promise, we're helping hundreds of children across Berkshire and the UK to access the support they need to fulfil their potential."

Tickets for the charity at Hilton Reading in September are £400 for a table of 10 or £45 per person.
