Birmingham charities announce fundraiser to support people facing homelessness
City charities YMCA Heart of England and Shelter Birmingham are inviting the local community to come together for a special fundraising dinner to aid people facing homelessness.
The dinner will take place on Tuesday, 18 August at San Carlo restaurant in Birmingham.
The evening aims to raise vital funds to support people experiencing homelessness and those at risk of losing their homes across the region.
Guests will be welcomed from 6:30pm, with dinner commencing at 7:00pm. Tickets are priced at £40 per person, which includes a two-course meal, a selected drink (beer, wine or soft drink), and bread and olives for the table.
The event will also feature live entertainment, creating an engaging and memorable atmosphere for attendees.
Funds raised from the evening will directly support the life-changing work of YMCA Heart of England and Shelter Birmingham, helping individuals and families rebuild their lives.
YMCA Heart of England provides safe accommodation, critical support services, and opportunities for young people and vulnerable adults facing homelessness.
Every pound raised contributes to practical support such as emergency and supported housing, employment and training opportunities, mental health and wellbeing services along with pathways into independent living.
Shelter Birmingham continues its vital work supporting people across the city who are facing homelessness or housing insecurity, providing expert advice, guidance, and local support services to help individuals and families find and keep a safe home.
M. Elena Roselli, Head of PR, communications & engagement at YMCA Heart of England, said: “This event is not just about bringing people together over a wonderful meal – it’s about creating real, lasting change in our community.
“Every ticket purchased helps us provide safety, stability and hope to people who need it most.”
“For many of the young people we support, homelessness can feel isolating and overwhelming. Events like this allow us to continue offering vital services that help individuals regain confidence, find opportunities, and build a future.”
In addition to ticket sales, organisers are also welcoming donations of raffle prizes from local businesses and supporters.
Items or experiences contributed to the raffle will help generate further funds on the night, directly supporting people at risk of homelessness across the region.
Those interested in donating are encouraged to get in touch with the organisers.
