Liverpool business raises £125,000 for charity with star-studded bash

Liberty X, Shola Ama & Gok Wan performed at show-stopping Sedulo celebrity ball

Pop group Liberty X teamed up with Shola Ama and Gok Wan to help the Sedulo Foundation raise £125,000 for young people in the North West. Funds raised at the Sedulo Foundation Colour Ball, which was hosted by soap royalty Sally Lindsay and attended by stars such as Claire Sweeney, Denise Welch and boxing legend David Haye, will support youth organisations in the region as well as charitable projects aiming to increase the life chances of youngsters facing disadvantages.

Liberty X, who now tour with Dancing on Ice star Michelle Heaton and fellow original band members Jessica Taylor and Kelli Young, brought the roof down with a headline set which included hits such as ‘Just A Little’, ‘Got to Have Your Love’ and ‘A Night to Remember’.

Shola Ama opened the Manchester show with her famous version of ‘You Might Need Somebody’, while TV personalities Dr. Ranj and Seema Malhotra partied late into the night following a DJ set from TV fashion guru Gok Wan.

The Sedulo Foundation is the charitable arm of Sedulo Group, one of the UK’s leading financial advisory companies with offices in Liverpool, London, Manchester and Leeds.

The foundation has already helped over 2,500 young people through projects to provide back to school essentials as well as working to end period poverty by providing sanitary products. The business also leads an annual Christmas toy appeal from its offices throughout the country.

Paul Cheetham-Karcz, founder of Sedulo and the Sedulo Foundation, says: “It was a true honour and privilege to be involved with such an inspirational initiative from the Sedulo Foundation.

“The vital funds raised this evening will go a long, long way to help and inspire young people across the North West.

“I am proud that some of the biggest names in entertainment, media and sport attended to raise vital funds.

“By helping disadvantaged children and young people in these regions, I believe we can motivate the talent of tomorrow to fulfil their potential and aim higher.

“I am proud of the work already achieved by the Sedulo Foundation and the Colour Ball will help us reach even more young people in the long-term.”
