On Saturday, 28th March 2026, the Rotary Club of Gravesend and Meopham hosted its annual Charity Ball in the spectacular surroundings of the Cobham Hall banqueting hall. This year’s prestigious event was held in aid of ellenor, a vital local charity providing hospice care.

The evening welcomed more than 80 distinguished guests, including representatives from neighbouring Rotary clubs, former members, and numerous community supporters. The club was also delighted to host a dedicated table of volunteers and staff members from ellenor to celebrate their invaluable contribution to the community.

Guests enjoyed a superb three-course banquet featuring an upscale, nostalgic twist on 1980s culinary classics, with a menu that included a sophisticated prawn cocktail, a beautifully prepared Steak Diane, and a traditional trifle.

Following dinner, the exceptional live band, Gold, filled the dance floor with a seamless selection of classic hits that kept guests celebrating long into the evening. Entertainment also included a highly successful raffle and a spirited game of ‘Heads and Tails’ that brought fantastic energy and friendly competition to the room.

Thanks to the immense generosity of everyone who attended, the evening raised over £3,500 for ellenor, directly supporting their essential care services across Kent.

The Rotary Club of Gravesend and Meopham extends its heartfelt thanks to all who contributed to making the night such a resounding success.
