The Midlands Construction Charity Ball has now distributed all funds raised at its 2025 event, with a total of £160,000 presented to four Midlands-based charities.

The Midlands Construction Charity Ball was jointly organised by Tippers, EH Smith Builders Merchants, Friel Homes and M. Lambe Construction.

Hosted at The Masters Suite at The Belfry, the 2025 Ball brought together the Midlands' independent and family-owned construction businesses for an evening of entertainment, networking and fundraising in support of local causes.

Each of the following charities received £40,000, raised through fundraising activities on the night:

  • St Giles Hospice – based in Whittington, near Lichfield, provides specialist palliative and end-of-life care across the region.
  • Acorns Children’s Hospice – based in Walsall, supports children with life-limiting illnesses and their families.
  • Christy Lambe Foundation – offers mental health support specifically for construction workers across the Midlands.
  • Tabor Living – a Birmingham homelessness charity helping individuals rebuild independence and move into long-term housing and employment.

All charities were selected for their strong Midlands roots and the meaningful difference they continue to make within local communities.

Amy Tipper commented: “It was fantastic to visit each of our supported charities and personally distribute the donations. Every organisation was incredibly appreciative, especially during the tough economic times we are currently facing.

"These donations simply wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of our attendees and sponsors, and we’re proud to support charities doing such important work across the Midlands.”

The recipient charities also expressed their gratitude for the support raised through the Ball.

Caroline Gorman from Tabor Living commented: “The Midlands Construction Charity Ball was phenomenal and the funds we have received will help to provide strength-based provision for our guests. You have all supported us here at Tabor and we are forever grateful.”

Emma Harewood from Acorns Children’s Hospice added: “Thank you so much for this. I am so pleased it was such a success after all of what I am sure was hard work. Thank you all so much for supporting Acorns.”

Elinor Eustace, Group CEO of St Giles Hospice, said: “I wanted to just reach out and say thank you. We had a fabulous time at the event and amazed at the outstanding amount raised. We are eternally grateful for your support.”

The Midlands Construction Charity Ball was created to celebrate the strength of the region’s construction industry, while raising vital funds for smaller regional charities that rely on community support to continue their work. Planning is already underway for this year’s event.
