Leading Coventry law firm Band Hatton Button go glam

Members of Coventry and Warwickshire's business community will be swapping their desks for the dance floor in the name of charity.

Leading Coventry law firm Band Hatton Button is staging a ball to raise funds for the Heart of England Community Foundation, a charity which gives grants to support community projects across Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull.

The ball is the brainchild of Band Hatton Button partner Dawn Mobbs, who is hoping to attract around 250 guests to the event which is being held on Friday, September 5 at the Coventry Hilton Hotel at Walsgrave.

She said: "The Heart of England Community Foundation does a fantastic job in ensuring that local causes and projects are helped.

"Often they are not the major headline causes, but projects and initiatives that really matter to their communities.

"It has been a very tough few years for small community charities and projects and often the help that the Foundation provides is vital to them continuing their good work.

"The profile of the causes the Foundation helps and the fact the money is distributed in this area, is very appealing to local businesses."

Organisers are still looking to sell more tables, attract sponsors and prizes for a raffle.

Paul Belfield of Handlesbanken, chair of the Heart of England Community Foundation, said: "This is a great gesture by Dawn and Band Hatton Button. A tremendous amount of work has gone into organising the event and the Foundation is extremely grateful."
