QAC is hosting a Charity Dinner on Friday 12 June 2026

/media/news/library/qac_charity_dinner2026.jpgAs part of their Funding Brighter Futures Appeal, QAC is hosting a Charity Dinner on Friday 12 June 2026 at the Birmingham Conference and Events Centre in Birmingham.

Join them for an unforgettable evening featuring a cheeky cocktail reception, a delicious three-course dinner, fantastic entertainment and a little fundraising along the way (don’t worry, it won’t break the bank!).

All profits from this event will support their newly launched Building Brighter Futures Appeal, enabling the charity to bring on-site a brand new purpose-built medical and therapies centre, which is not only a gateway for students to access their education but will enable them to repurpose other areas of the site for additional learning.
