Smiles like these 💖

But moments like this don’t just happen. Behind so many of the smiles we see at WHISH are volunteers who give their time, energy and care to make things happen for local children and their families.

We want to celebrate those volunteers at the WHISH Celebration Ball.

The people who give their time at activities, events, football sessions and behind the scenes throughout the year. The people who help create opportunities, memories and moments like this one.

We’d love to see some of our volunteers enjoying the Ball with us, so if you or your business would like to sponsor a volunteer’s seat, or even a whole table, please get in touch and have a chat with us.

Or simply come along yourself. Buy a ticket, bring some friends, enjoy a brilliant night and help us celebrate what WHISH is all about.

Friday 13 November
Sneaton Castle
£49 per person

Let’s fill the room with the people who make these smiles possible. 💖

WHISH is more than a charity.

It’s a place where families feel understood.

Where nobody has to explain why something that looks simple to everyone else can sometimes be really hard.

Where children can take part, make friends, try something new and just be themselves.

And where parents and carers know they’re not doing it alone.

On Friday 13 November, we’re bringing people together at Sneaton Castle for the WHISH Celebration Ball.

Not because Whitby needs another night out.

But because WHISH is part of what makes our community a community of support.

If WHISH has ever helped your family, supported someone you know, or simply feels like something worth having in our town, we’d love you to come and celebrate with us.

Friday 13 November
Sneaton Castle
6.00pm

Tickets are £49.

Not that kind of ball…..⚽️🤩
