Dinner and Dance 2025
9th October 2025
What an evening. The 2025 annual Stevenage Community Trust Dinner & Dance event took place last Friday 3rd October, and was once again a resounding success. This event is our most important fundraising event of the year, and we’re pleased to announce that the total amount raised for the Stevenage Community Trust exceeded £30,000!
This year’s event was held for the first time at the stunning Knebworth Barns, a fitting venue as we celebrate our 35th anniversary. We’re grateful to the Knebworth team for their warm hospitality.
Guests enjoyed a full evening of entertainment, beginning with a beautiful harp performance by Cecilia De Maria, followed by live music from the Sam Lewis Band. We were honoured to welcome Olympic silver medallist Roger Black as guest speaker, whose stories of resilience and achievement inspired everyone in the room.
The main events of the evening, the auction and raffle, were bigger and better than ever, and we’d like to thank all attendees for reaching into their pockets to participate in the fundraising activities. We’re especially grateful to Flamingo Produce and all others who donated items for our raffle table, which was full of amazing prizes.
We’d like to extend our most sincere thanks to our event sponsors, without whose support we would be unable to raise such significant funds. A special thank you to our primary ‘Stevenage Superstar’ sponsors, Wilder Coe and Stevenage Packaging, as well as our ‘Community Champion’ sponsors Tollers, Lansmith Global and Bracey’s. We’d also like to thank our entertainment sponsor: Daines Kapp, our welcome drinks sponsor: Tranquil Turtle, as well as the following additional sponsors and supporters: Knebworth House, Canter Holland, Crane & Staples, The Wine Society, MBDA, and Face Communications. Your support allows us to continue delivering better outcomes for people within the community, and we could not be more grateful.
As we move towards the end of our 35th anniversary year, we’d like to once again extend our gratitude to all supporters of our fundraising this year. We look forward to welcoming you back to our 36th annual Dinner & Dance event next year and we will be releasing the details on this in due course.
