Every ticket, every bid, and every spin at the casino table contributes directly to Solace Women’s Aid’s life-saving services — from safe housing to therapeutic support. This is not just a night of music. It’s a night of movement. Come for the vibes. Stay for the impact.

Great music and entertainment to follow starting at 7pm. Judy Kawaguchi, Trudy Kerr, and Hayley Poleon and friends, will be returning to stage this year!

Solace is the largest domestic abuse and sexual violence charity in London, supporting nearly 25,000 survivors each year. The organisation’s dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to offer a range of services, including refuge accommodation, therapeutic services, prevention services, advice and support, support for young people and training.

Solace turned 50 this year, and while there are a lot of accomplishments to celebrate, it is a devastating fact that their services are still so needed. Demand, in fact, continues to grow, increasing pressure on teams and the need for vital resources.

This is why we continue to fundraise to help Solace support even more women in building lives free from abuse.

So come help us raise funds to support Solace's amazing work across London!

Looking forward to seeing you!

Thank you!!!
