We are blown away to share that the 2024 McCarthy Stone Supply Chain Awards & Charity Gala raised over £150,000 for the Foundation last week in Leicester. A massive thank you to everyone who came along on the night, to our headline sponsors at Gateley Legal, and to all our generous donors who supported the raffle and auction with some fantastic prizes.
Our thanks to Premium Plus Sponsors:

We are hugely grateful for all the support and your contributions helped make this a record-breaking year for the gala.
Our thanks also to the team at The Athena in Leicester and to our friends at PS Events who we have worked in partnership with for three years now to deliver the event, and to our superstar videographer/photographer Tom and Alex from Big Storey Productions.
Congratulations to all the Supply Chain Award winners, who will be shared on the McCarthy Stone social channels. It was also a big night for the Foundation Team as it was our Head of Foundation – Graeme – last event leading the charity, before he hands over the reins to Julia Laister, who will lead the Foundation from 1st November.
We will be putting the funds raised directly to use, supporting both our Autumn Community Grants Programme and our Christmas Connections Small Grants Fund, helping older people to be valued, connected, and engaged with their community – both at Christmas and beyond. More details on these awards will follow in November.
For now, again, a massive thank you.
