YMCA Heart of England and Shelter Birmingham have rescheduled their Charity Dining Experience at San Carlo – which will now take place on Thursday 15 October.

The fundraising event, organised in partnership with the Birmingham restaurant, will bring together members of the local business community, supporters and residents for an evening dedicated to raising funds and awareness for people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity across the West Midlands.

Guests will enjoy a two-course meal, refreshments and live entertainment, with proceeds supporting the vital work carried out by YMCA Heart of England and Shelter Birmingham.

Elena Roselli, head of PR, Communications & Engagement at YMCA Heart of England, said: "We remain incredibly excited about this event and the opportunity to bring people together in support of those facing homelessness and housing insecurity.

“We look forward to welcoming guests on 15 October for what promises to be a memorable evening that will make a real difference to people's lives."

Funds raised through the event will help both charities continue providing essential support, including emergency accommodation, housing advice, wellbeing services, training opportunities and pathways towards independent living.

Organisers would like to thank supporters, sponsors and attendees for their understanding and continued commitment to the cause.

With limited places available, early booking is encouraged. The event starts at 12.30pm and costs £40 per ticket.
