Celebrating Women in Sport.
Building on the success of our inaugural Legends Summer Ball in 2025, this year’s celebration at the Royal Lancaster London brought together over 450 guests for an unforgettable evening in support of women in sport and our brilliant charity partners.
Hosted by Ugo Monye, the night opened with a Champagne reception before guests enjoyed a sumptuous three-course dinner and a powerful panel with Ellie Kildunne MBE, Zoe Stratford OBE, and Ruby Tui. The room was filled with sporting legends, all there to champion the next generation.
Highlights included hearing from Gabby’s Grant 2025 winner Rachel Robertson, and the reveal of the 2026 recipient, Success Eduan, whose journey you can watch here. We were also honoured to welcome Simon and Juliet to the stage, with Juliet speaking so beautifully about her sister, Maddy, and the incredible work of their charity, Maddy’s Mark.
With Jonny Gould hosting a lively live auction, DJ Tye Morgan bringing feel-good summer vibes, and Madhen keeping the dance floor full until late, it was a fantastic opportunity to raise vital funds and celebrate the power of sport to inspire change.
Thank you to our lead sponsor, Obex Dental, and our event partners, The Landmark London, Champagne Piaff, Royal Lancaster London, and Breathe Productions.

"I’ve been attending the Legends Ball for many years on a personal level, but over the past three years, I’ve also had the privilege of being involved through the charity I work for. Alan and the team consistently go above and beyond, delivering evenings that are nothing short of exceptional, and somehow, each year is even better than the last. These events provide a fantastic opportunity to entertain and engage clients while supporting truly worthwhile causes. The atmosphere is always vibrant, full of energy and positivity, with an incredible lineup of sporting talent that never fails to impress. What stands out most is how seamlessly everything runs. The organisation is flawless, and the level of engagement from guests is remarkable, with genuine enthusiasm for both the ‘Legends’ on stage and the charities being supported."
