The Midlands Construction Charity Ball has now officially distributed all funds raised at its
2025 event, with a total of £160,000 presented to four Midlands-based charities making a
significant impact across the region.
The Midlands Construction Charity Ball was proudly organised by Tippers, EH Smith Builders
Merchants, Friel Homes and M. Lambe Construction.
Hosted at The Masters Suite at The Belfry, the 2025 Ball brought together Midlands
independent and family-owned construction businesses for an evening of entertainment,
networking and fundraising in support of vital local causes.
Each of the following charities received £40,000, raised through fundraising activities on the
night:
- St Giles Hospice – based in Whittington, near Lichfield, providing specialist palliative
and end-of-life care across the region. - Acorns Children’s Hospice – based in Walsall, supporting children with life-limiting
illnesses and their families. - Christy Lambe Foundation – offering mental health support specifically for
construction workers across the Midlands. - Tabor Living – a Birmingham homelessness charity helping individuals rebuild
independence and move into long-term housing and employment.
All charities were selected due to their strong Midlands roots and the meaningful difference
they continue to make within local communities.
Amy Tipper commented:
“It was fantastic to visit each of our supported charities and personally distribute the
donations. Every organisation was incredibly appreciative, especially during the tough
economic times we are currently facing. These donations simply wouldn’t have been possible
without the generosity of our attendees and sponsors, and we’re proud to support charities
doing such important work across the Midlands.”
The recipient charities also expressed their gratitude for the support raised through the Ball.
Caroline Gorman from Tabor Living said:
“The Midlands Construction Charity Ball was phenomenal and the funds we have received
will help to provide strength-based provision for our guests. You have all supported us here
at Tabor and we are forever grateful.”
Emma Harewood from Acorns Children’s Hospice added:
“Thank you so much for this. I am so pleased it was such a success after all of what I am sure
was hard work. Thank you all so much for supporting Acorns.”
Elinor Eustace, Group CEO of St Giles Hospice, said:
“I wanted to just reach out and say thank you. We had a fabulous time at the event and
amazed at the outstanding amount raised. We are eternally grateful for your support.”
The Midlands Construction Charity Ball was created to celebrate the strength of the region’s
construction industry, while raising vital funds for smaller regional charities that rely on
community support to continue their work.
