City Dinner 2025
8 May 2025
We held our City Dinner 2025 fundraising event on Tuesday 6 May 2025, at our stunning new venue, The Savoy.
Hosted by Andrew Dickens, with Giorgia Parodi Brown leading our auction, it was a fabulous evening featuring inspiring stories and fantastic entertainment. Thanks to the generosity of our guests, we can support more people affected by spinal cord injury. Young people like Becky, who shared her story with our guests.
With Back Up’s support, Becky is now at University studying Forensic Science, and representing Great Britain in wheelchair rugby.
