Industry charity The Furniture Makers’ Company is holding a glitzy ball to celebrate the successful culmination of its 12-month fundraising campaign, Step 2 It. The black-tie event will be held on Friday 25 March at the Landmark London, a five-star luxury hotel located in Marylebone.

The Step 2 It Ball will commence with a glittering drinks reception in ‘The Drawing Room’ with a four-course dinner cooked by executive chef Gary Klaner in ‘The Marble Ballroom’, followed by sensational entertainment from the Jazz Dynamos and a charity auction.

Step 2 It has been the charity’s largest ever fundraiser. The campaign, which has been running since May 2021 and is due to end in April 2022, has been encouraging companies and individuals to organise sports-based challenges in aid of the charity.

David Woodward, Master of The Furniture Makers’ Company, said: “Over the past 10 months, we’ve been encouraging the trade to Step 2 It and raise money for our charity by organising an activity-based fundraiser. The response to the campaign has been outstanding and we’ve been overwhelmed by the support it’s received.

The Step 2 It Ball is being organised to toast the success of the campaign and have one big final push.

“The Step 2 It Ball is open to anyone and everyone involved in the furnishing industry. Guests will be able to dance the night away to the world-famous Jazz Dynamos – a truly superb band who’ve performed for British and Hollywood royalty. As well as being a fun night where everyone can get dressed up to the nines and raise some money for our industry’s charity, it’s a great occasion to host a gathering of work colleagues, entertain customers, or spend an evening with family and friends.”

Tickets for the event are priced at £220 (+ VAT) with a table of 10 costing £2,100 (+ VAT). For more information and to book, visit www.furnituremakers.org.uk/events/step-2-it-ball.
