We've had a ball

_space group's Directors get ready for one of the 'must attend' nights of the year in Newcastle.

Friday 14 May saw the fourth annual charity ball we've thrown in Newcastle, and we're happy to report that we raised £20,250 for this year's chosen charity, Children North East.

The Think Pink ball, which is supported by _space foundation, is turning into one of the 'must attend' nights of the year in Newcastle, and this year was no different, as over 200 members of the construction industry turned out for a night of fun and frolics in the name of raising money for a good cause.

This year, the focus of Children North East's fundraising effort has been the WEYES project. WEYES (West End Youth Enquiry Service) was set up by Children North East for young people aged 11 - 25 to offer advice, information and support on a number of issues, from employment and training, to education, health and relationships. While a valuable project, the WEYES building was in need of TLC, in the form of renovation and extension, and _space group has stepped in, agreeing to renovate and extend the building, so that young people in Newcastle have a great space that they can visit when they’re in need of some advice. While we're supplying our services for free, there are other costs associated with a project like this and the Think Pink ball has gone a long way to helping to pay those costs.

We'd really like to thank everyone who came last Friday, and supported Children North East and the WEYES project. We hope you had as enjoyable an evening as we did, and we look forward to seeing you all again for this event next year.
