Burnley Charity Ladies Day

Burnley Charity Ladies Day is more than a date in the calendar which makes it a celebration of local spirit, community kindness, and a commitment to making lives better. Held at Finsley Gate Wharf on Thursday 19th June, this remarkable event brings together businesses, residents, and organisations in support of TEAM RISE, a charity offering bespoke support to adults across East Lancashire.

With live racing from Royal Ascot, a two course meal, raffles, music, and entertainment, it’s set to be a day of celebration, connection, and giving back. This article explores the full experience, the people behind the scenes, and why local employers like Vital Heating Solutions and Cube HR are proudly backing it.

What Is Burnley Charity Ladies Day?

Burnley Charity Ladies Day is an annual fundraiser organised by TEAM RISE. Its goal is simple to bring the community together, celebrate inclusion, and raise essential funds to support local adults with learning difficulties, physical disabilities, and mental health challenges. Held in the heart of Burnley, the event offers:

• A welcome glass of prosecco
• A delicious two course meal
• Five Royal Ascot races streamed live
• Raffles, charity auctions, and spot prizes
• Live music from a top tier Elvis tribute act

Finsley Gate Wharf, with its canal side charm and warm atmosphere, provides the perfect setting. While the entertainment is lively and upbeat, the heart of the day lies in its purpose: supporting the people who need it most.

The Mission Behind the Event

TEAM RISE was founded on the belief that everyone deserves opportunities, structure, and connection. Their work focuses on helping adults who are often overlooked, offering daily support, employment skills, social engagement, and emotional wellbeing programmes.

Funds raised from Burnley Charity Ladies Day go directly into maintaining these services. With government funding often limited, events like this are critical in bridging the financial gap and sustaining their delivery across the region.

The impact is real. TEAM RISE has helped hundreds of individuals:

• Build lasting friendships
• Gain work placements and paid roles
• Improve confidence and independence
• Access social activities and life skills sessions

Behind the glamour of the event is a vital cause and every ticket sold helps TEAM RISE continue their work with dignity, purpose, and love.

Why Local Businesses Get Involved

When a community event has meaning, businesses step forward. This year, Vital Heating Solutions and Cube HR are two organisations that have not only sponsored the event but also helped bring it to life.

For Vital Heating Solutions, supporting TEAM RISE aligns with their values. As a specialist provider of commercial heating, renewable energy systems, and white label services, their roots are firmly in Lancashire and so is their commitment to giving back.

“We don’t just work in this region; we live here, raise families here, and care about what happens here. TEAM RISE is doing incredible work, and we’re proud to stand behind them,” said the directors at Vital Heating Solutions.

Cube HR, known for their bespoke, outsourced HR services, also share that mindset. As the HR partner for Vital Heating Solutions, they play a key role in building people first workplaces. Sponsoring Burnley Charity Ladies Day was a natural fit for a team that understands the value of support, inclusion, and community care.

Whether you’re attending as part of a corporate table or simply looking for a brilliant day out, the event offers a refreshing mix of entertainment and impact. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed with warmth, energy, and the feeling that you’re part of something bigger.

The flow of the day includes:

It’s a joyful, celebratory environment where people relax, network, and reconnect whether they’re long-time supporters or first-time guests.

The Role of Sponsorship in Community Growth

Sponsorship is about more than logos or tables. It’s about responsibility and shared growth. Events like Burnley Charity Ladies Day are only possible with financial backing, but they deliver more than ROI they create change.

Companies that sponsor these initiatives:

• Demonstrate local leadership
• Strengthen employee pride and team culture
• Expand their impact beyond commercial goals
• Build relationships with other purpose led businesses

For Vital Heating Solutions and Cube HR, the sponsorship is both a celebration and a commitment. They’re not just showing up they’re investing in people.

Why It’s the Perfect Day for Your Team

If you’re a local business leader wondering whether to attend, the answer is yes. Here’s why:

• It’s ideal for staff appreciation, treat your team to something fun.
• It creates networking opportunities with like minded businesses.
• It gives your team a reason to feel proud, your company supports real impact.
• It helps your people connect outside the usual routine and recharge.

A day like this can lift morale, spark ideas, and remind everyone why purpose matters.

How TEAM RISE Delivers Bespoke Support

Unlike one size fits all services, TEAM RISE delivers personalised care. Each person they support has their own plan, their own goals, and their own path. The charity works with families, social services, and businesses to ensure real progress is made.

Programmes include:

• Employment support: CV writing, placements, job coaching
• Health & wellbeing sessions: Fitness, cooking, and mental health support
• Creative workshops: Art, music, drama, storytelling
• Social groups: Weekly meetups, outings, and community visits

Their impact goes far beyond the individuals because they help families breathe easier, businesses hire with confidence, and communities become more inclusive.
