The Ascot Charitable Trust (ACT) was established following a hugely successful Charity Ball in 2001 in aid of ChildLine, which netted £55,000. It was attended by a host of celebrities, including its illustrious Chairman, Esther Rantzen.

The Trust was set up in 2002 to benefit both national and local charities, community groups and individuals with special needs, who live within the Ascot area. Our main fundraising event of the year is the Ascot Charity Ball, which has now become one of the most prestigious charitable functions in the Ascot social calendar. To date, the Trust has raised over £375,000, thanks to your generous and continued support.

The nominated charities for 2008 were the NSPCC and Childline. Once again the event was extremely successful and £50,000 was raised. To read about the 2008 Ball please click here.
