This sparkling event is in aid of The Prince’s Trust Brilliant Breakfast, and its Women Supporting Women initiative. Money raised helps young women in the UK, offering practical support to stabilise their lives, develop their self-esteem and gain skills for work. Three in four young people supported by The Prince’s Trust move into work, education or training.

Guests will be treated to a delicious brunch served with sparkling English wine and inspiring speakers, along with a panel discussion with successful female scale-up entrepreneurs and goody bags worth over £150. Confirmed guests include Sonali Shah, a British newsreader who used to present Newsround on the BBC and now occasionally presents the weekend edition of BBC World News, and Amy Dickson, a Saxophonist who has been twice nominated for a Grammy. It will be a chance to network, share stories and discuss ways to support the next generation of female entrepreneurs and business leaders.

An auction will be held with items and experiences including a helicopter ride, a weekend getaway in a luxury hotel let and many more. There will also be a raffle and games, plus goody bags for guests to take home. All proceeds from the day will go towards the Women Supporting Women initiative to help reach the nationwide goal of £1 million.
