STF GALA DINNER & AWARDS NIGHT 2025!

We’d like to say a massive thanks so much to everyone that came to our Gala dinner and Awards night at the fabulous Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa Hotel on Saturday October 4th.

It was a fantastic night with all our Foundation Partners and Friends which saw over 200 guests come together to celebrate the support they have shown the Foundation and the brilliant things we have been able to achieve, and deliver due to that support.

The event, compered by the hilarious Pete Emmett was a huge success and we raised a substantial amount of money on the night, allowing us to deliver more Mental Health Counselling, Addiction support services and Physical Activity Initiatives here at the Foundation.

A special thanks goes out to all our Entertainers on the night – Hana Joy for her amazing singing and for keeping us entertained all night and up on the dance floor! And to the hilarious Jamie Sutherland for his comedy set which had the audience in stitches! Finally to Showkings for their fantastic AV support and set design.

Thanks to our Silent Auction from Colin Beresford and his brilliant team who were instrumental in selling tickets for our Rolex Competition and Hoss or Gloss Game. Also to the Hoffmans and Louis Williams Jewellers for supplying the Rolex and Wayne from Verlingue who managed the logistics of it all!

Finally, a huge thanks to and all our sponsors on the night – Menzies Distribution, TIP, Muse Developments, New Balance, Integral Legal Costs, Allisons Financial, A+B Engineering and Emporia Marketing.
