Glossy Magazine 2022

The Glossy Magazine Winter Wonderland Ball returned with a bang after a few years of absence following Covid. It was an incredible night enjoyed by all, full of delicious food, entertainment and drinks – all in a good cause.

This year’s charity ball was organised to raise funds for two local charities close to the founders of Glossy Magazine’s hearts; Maggie’s Cancer Care, which offers free walk-in cancer support for patients and their families, and PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide, which helps promote positive mental health and emotional wellbeing support in young people, including providing local councils, healthcare professionals and schools with suicide prevention skills and training support.

Guests were dressed to impress in their best outfits and enjoyed a fabulous sit-down meal in the lavish surroundings of The Edwardian, a luxury hotel situated right in the heart of Manchester.

Commenting on the evening, Director of Glossy Magazine, Salim Uddin-Khandakar, said: “In the 20 years we’ve been hosting this event, this has been the most challenging one to organise due to the economic climate and strain on people’s finances. Both Beverley and I can’t express our gratitude enough to all the sponsors; LSH Auto, Mercedes Benz, The Knee Doc, SMS Digital Media and Turkish Airlines as well as the numerous companies who donated prizes. Thank you!

“Most importantly, I’d like to give a big thank you to all the wonderful attendees. Without your support, we wouldn’t have made this happen. We’re wishing everyone a Happy Christmas and a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2023.”

Over £5,000 was raised for the charities through the raffle and auction, thanks to the generosity of those who joined us. Photos: Phil Garlington www.philgarlington.com
