Raising money for

Take Heart India

Charity Registration No. 235829

Take Heart is a youth run charity focused on practical education projects in India. Take Heart aims to find and develop the talent and potential in every individual we work with. We are relatively unique in the charity sector for two reasons: 1. We do not employ a single person which means that 100% of proceeds are directed out to our education projects in India. 2. We run with the leitmotiv ‘Work builds, charity destroys’. Rather than giving money we aim to empower people through practical education. Although Take Heart was founded in 1963, in 2004 the charity was renewed with a youthful drive and targeted focus. Since 2004 Take Heart has built an English language and IT school that has provided real job opportunities to over 1000 students. It costs just £37 for us to train a blind student in IT skills that will guarantee them a job for life. Your support in whatever way is greatly appreciated and is sure to have a positive impact on the lives of the less fortunate. Take Heart, Take Action...

***** SOLD OUT FOR ADVANCED TICKETS *****

THE TAKE HEART BALL HAS NOW SOLD OUT. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY MORE DONATIONS ON THIS SITE AS YOU ARE NO LONGER GUARANTEED TO GET IN.

THERE WILL BE LIMITED TICKETS AVAILABLE ON THE DOOR FROM 10PM FOR A DONATION OF AT LEAST £30.

IF YOU HAVE MADE A DONATION IN ADVANCE PLEASE ARRIVE AS CLOSE TO 8PM AS POSSIBLE. IF YOU ARRIVE AFTER 10PM YOUR PLACE WILL NOT BE KEPT FOR YOU AND YOU WILL HAVE TO QUEUE TO GET IN.

The ball will start at 8pm and will finish at 3am. We are hosting the ball at the wonderful Kensington Roof Gardens again this year. The dress theme is 'COWBOYS AND INDIA'! Please use your imagination as we have some fantastic best dressed prizes. Sexy cowgirls and bindis expected...

There will be a complimentary cocktail reception and a cash BBQ in the gardens. A burger and wedges costs just £5. There will be a host of entertainment through the evening. This year we even have a rodeo coming... We will also have a silent auction again with a fantastic line up of prizes kindly donated by generous companies including Virgin, Breitling and Swarovski.

Every penny we raise at the ball as always gets sent out to our practical education projects in India. The picture you see is the school your money from the previous balls has entirely paid for. We have already trained our 1000th able bodied student and our 150th blind student!

Thank you for you generous support!
