Headline sponsor announced for our glittering Titanic Hotel fundraising ball

Following the announcement of our spectacular fundraising ball taking place on Friday 17th July 2026 at Liverpool’s iconic Titanic Hotel, we are delighted to announce Graystons Solicitors as the headline sponsor of the event.

Our fundraising ball is set to be an unforgettable evening of celebration, entertainment, and purpose, raising vital funds for our life-changing conductive education sessions for children and young people with cerebral palsy across the region.

BBC Radio Merseyside presenter, founder and musical director of the SingMe Merseyside Choir, and long-term supporter of Stick ‘n’ Step, Billy Hui BEM DL, will be Master of Ceremonies at the event.

Julie Grayston, Founder & Managing Director at Graystons Solicitors, said,

Graystons is incredibly proud to be the headline sponsor of Stick ‘n’ Step’s fundraising ball this summer. The charity’s work supporting children and young people with cerebral palsy is truly inspiring, and we are delighted to play a part in helping them continue delivering life-changing conductive education. We’re very much looking forward to what promises to be a fantastic evening at the Titanic Hotel, raising vital funds for an important cause.

Sarah Smithson, our CEO, said,

Partnerships like this make a real and lasting difference to the families we support, and we can’t thank Graystons enough for their generosity.
