Last week, we had the honour of being the chosen charity at this year’s Best of British London event.
Hosted at the stunning Waldorf Hotel, the event brought together more than 150 business leaders, sports enthusiasts, and generous supporters for an inspiring gathering that raised more than £9,000 to support our work to improve social health and tackle loneliness and isolation in Brighton and Hove.
The event was not only a fundraiser for us, but a celebration of connection and community, values that are important to us and that are shared by our long-time friends at Best of British Events.
A Powerful Partnership
Best of British Events has supported Together Co for several years, helping us to raise vital funds and spreading our message and mission through everything they do.
