Autism Aware UK Charity Ball 2013
Our second annual charity ball sponsored by Options Group was held at the Alton Towers Hotel on the 15th November 2013, it was a masquerade theme which was attended by 200 guests.
Autism Aware UK Founders – Kim & Jon Southall
It was once again an amazing evening of raising autism awareness and funds for Autism Aware UK, as well as celebrating the news that Autism Aware UK had received charity status!!
We were also thrilled to announce that the very talented Scott James had accepted to be a proud patron of Autism Aware UK.

The evening was hosted for a second successive year by Bret ‘Hollywood’ Freeman and we also welcomed back for a second successive year the incredibly talented trio Martin Finn, Carly Ryan & Scott James who treated our guests to amazing performances.
Guests were left stunned and bamboozled by mentalist/ illusionist Mason King who performed around the tables.
There was also an amazing selection of raffle/auction prizes on offer which helped us raise £4,486 on the night thanks to our unbelievably generous guests.
The evening was once again brought to a close with 2 fantastic sets from The Supersets who had the dance floor filled from start to finish!
We are now looking forward to our 3rd annual charity ball in November 2014.
