GALA FOR GOOD
A special evening raising funds for two amazing Southend based charities, Fair Haven's & Big Purple Pants
Friday Sept 25 2026
The Boundary, Garon Park, Southend, SS2 4FA
6.30pm til' late
ABOUT THE CELEBRATION
When two friends decided to come together to do something good for two charities close to their hearts, they knew it had the potential to be something truly special.
Claire and Lucy have both experienced first-hand the incredible work of Fair Havens and Big Purple Pants – two charities built on compassion, community and unwavering support.
Fair Havens supports people living with life-limiting illnesses and cares for families during the most difficult of times. Big Purple Pants stands beside those navigating a secondary breast cancer diagnosis, offering understanding, connection and a place to feel less alone.
These two charities were there for Bex, Lucy’s best friend, during her darkest days as she faced a terminal breast cancer diagnosis. Big Purple Pants welcomed Bex into their community, surrounding her with others who truly understood what she was going through, a lifeline when the world can suddenly feel isolating. Fair Havens cared for Bex and supported her family with compassion and dignity right until the end.
Claire herself is living with a secondary breast cancer diagnosis. She knows personally how vital this kind of support is, not just medically, but emotionally and practically too.
Together, Claire and Lucy wanted to give something back. To say thank you. To honour Bex. And to ensure these charities can continue being there for others when they need it most.
They would love you to join them in making this a night to remember, a night filled with love, friendship and purpose, raising vital funds for two extraordinary causes.

Sponsoring this event is a fantastic way for local businesses to support two meaningful causes while gaining strong visibility within the community. It’s also financially smart as charitable sponsorship can often be treated as a tax-deductible business expense when commercial value is received, such as marketing exposure.

If your business would like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you.
