A domestic abuse support service based in Burnley is holding a fundraising ball to raise money for domestic abuse survivors.

SafeNet Domestic Abuse and Support Service, part of the Calico Group, is hosting a charity fundraising ball which will be held next month. 

SafeNet will be raising funds for a new sensory area within a children’s playroom at their Preston Refuge, hoping to invest in equipment such as fibre optics, projections and play shapes to transform the area into a calm and safe space for children dealing with trauma and special educational needs.

The charity fundraising autumn ball will take place at Ribby Hall, Kirkham, at 6.30 pm on October 28.

Auction prizes will be available on the night and a ‘pop up shop’ selling discounted luxury spa products.

Guest speakers Dani Wallace and Lejla Duati, Founder of ‘Lejla, Please Tell My Story’ will be present to raise awareness for domestic abuse survivors.

Those who attend will be able to enjoy a three-course meal with vegan, halal, and non-alcoholic options available. The meal is included with a ticket to the event and food choices can be made through the booking form.

Alex Atkinson, head of SafeNet support services said: “We’re really excited to be hosting a charity ball which we hope will be one of our biggest fundraising events of the year.

"It will be a fun evening with an excellent line up of entertainment to raise awareness of SafeNet and the domestic abuse services we offer in Lancashire and Greater Manchester.

"We’re hoping local businesses and groups of friends will come along and enjoy a fabulous evening with us.”
