Austen Morris has bought out a table and donated an IPAD 2 and IPONE 4 in order to help the efforts to raise money for this years Charity. The Annual Charity Ball is their main fundraising event of the year.
This year the Chambers Annual Charity Ball will support three charities: Stepping Stones helps migrant children improve their English language skills by providing trained volunteer teachers for their classrooms; Lifeline Shanghai offers free, confidential advice and emotional support to the international community; Half the Sky Foundation aims to enrich the lives and enhance prospects for orphaned children in China through infant nurture and pre-school programmes. The theme is the Swinging 60’s where guests will enter a period of optimism and hedonism, a cultural revolution. The Mods and Rockers fight it out on Brighton Beach. Beatle mania reigns, The Stones rock out and The Who take over Ready Steady Go! Clothing is all black and white, mini-skirts are in, decor is pop art, hair styles are by Sassoon. Twiggy and The Shrimp show off the latest Mary Quant. And finally, psychedelia rules! Associates representing Austen Morris Associates included Partner, Jon Holand, Senior Associate Will Coppin, Associates Lawrence Barrett, Moe Rlkeddeh, Andy smith, Matthew Riddington, and business development coordinator Tom Moon.
