Once Upon a Time Gala 2025

Dingley’s Promise were delighted to hold their annual charity fundraising event at The Hilton Reading on Saturday 1st March.

We were honoured to welcome 160 guests including supporters, local businesses, our early years partners and our families and staff.

Guests took part in the enchanted story book themed events, a fundraising auction as well as enjoying a delicious 3 course meal, raising over £23,000 towards the vital work of Dingley’s Promise, supporting children in the early years with SEND. We’re grateful to everyone who made this evening such a success!

What a fantastic celebration of the progress and expansion of Dingley’s Promise and it was amazing to share it with our supporters. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the evening’s success.

We hope that everyone had a fabulous time and we are already planning future events to raise awareness of our work and support the charities growth to enable us to meet the needs of more children and families with SEND across England.
