The Foundation Ball
Our ball has become the night in the social calendar where we have fun and raise funds for The Centre.
Together we can 
make a difference
Our annual Alan Shearer Foundation Ball is a night of glamour, generosity, and unforgettable entertainment. Hosted in a stunning venue, the evening brings together our supporters, corporate partners, and special guests to celebrate the life-changing work of the foundation. Expect live music, fine dining, charity auctions, and surprise performances that captivate and inspire.
This event is at the heart of our fundraising efforts and showcases the incredible difference your support makes. Over the years, the ball has become a highlight of the North East’s social calendar, raising significant funds to maintain free access to the Alan Shearer Activity Centre.
