📣 BIG NEWS!

We are delighted to announce that our next PBCG event will see us return to the historic Royal Citadel, Plymouth, on Friday 25 June 2027, the day before Armed Forces Day.

And we are returning for a very important reason.

Once again, we will be supporting The Chestnut Appeal for Men’s Health, raising funds while, just as importantly, raising awareness and educating people about prostate, testicular and pe**le cancers.

The impact of our 2025 event is still being felt. More than a year later, we are still hearing of men being diagnosed with cancer following conversations and messages that started because of that event and our subsequent awareness campaign.

That tells us one thing.

We need to keep the momentum going. We need to keep talking. And, hopefully, we can help more men catch cancer early.

We are extremely grateful to the Regimental Sergeant Major of the Warrant Officers’ and Sergeants’ Mess for allowing us to return to this prestigious and historic venue.

🇬🇧 THE EVENT

This will be a military themed afternoon, beginning at 12:00, including a tour of the Royal Citadel, its camp and battlements. The whole event will be finishing at approximately 18:00.

We are incredibly pleased to announce that SAS veteran and Bravo Two Zero legend Chris Ryan will be joining us, alongside other special guests, to talk about some of their extraordinary experiences.

But at the heart of the afternoon will be men’s health.

We will hear honest, real life experiences from people who have faced these cancers, alongside a consultant urologist who will explain, in plain English, what prostate, testicular and pe**le cancers are, the importance of early detection, treatment options and what life can look like afterwards.

This isn't intended to be a medical lecture. It is about having conversations that men sometimes avoid, understanding the warning signs and encouraging people to act when something doesn't feel right.

And women are especially welcome. Partners, wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and colleagues can play an enormously important role in encouraging the men in their lives to get checked.

🎟️ Tickets are £55 per person, including food and PSA testing kits.

There will also be some very special one off prizes and auction pieces available on the day.

With only 150 places available, this will be a limited event.

So speak to your boss, take the afternoon off, bring your team and join PBCG at one of Plymouth's most remarkable venues for an afternoon that will be entertaining, informative and, most importantly, could genuinely help save lives.

🌟 WE’RE FINALISTS! 🌟

We are absolutely delighted to share that Plymouth Business Charity Group has been selected as a finalist for the Fundraising Award at the Plymouth Community Awards 2026.

As a small group run entirely by volunteers, simply being recognised alongside so many outstanding people and organisations from across our city means a huge amount to us.

Everything PBCG achieves is only possible because of the incredible support we receive from local businesses, sponsors, charities, guests and friends who get behind our events year after year.

We’ll be at the Crowne Plaza Plymouth on 13 November, and whatever happens on the night, we are genuinely thrilled just to be there amongst such an inspiring group of finalists.

A very proud moment for the whole PBCG team. ❤️

🎨 Something VERY special has just gone up for auction…

As part of our ongoing fundraising, PBCG approached acclaimed artist Emelie Susie and asked her to create a completely unique piece of art for us, with one aim, to raise as much money as possible for St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth.

The result is Trust the Detour, a stunning, hand painted 102cm lighthouse, created to mark 59 years since The Beatles visited Plymouth and were famously photographed on Plymouth Hoe with Smeaton’s Tower behind them.

This is a signed, completely unique, one off original, commissioned by PBCG, with a Certificate of Authenticity. It will never be reproduced.

Most importantly, 100% of the proceeds from the auction will go to St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth, supporting their incredible end of life care for people in our community.

A huge thank you to Emelie for putting so much time, passion and creativity into creating something so special for our fundraising.

👇 Take a look at the auction and please SHARE it far and wide.

Beatles fans, art collectors, Plymouthians, this really is a chance to own something that nobody else in the world will ever have. ❤️

Most importantly, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this lighthouse will go directly to St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth, helping the charity continue providing specialist end of life care and support to patients and their families across Plymouth and the surrounding area.

The Plymouth Business Charity Group is incredibly proud to announce that our recent Black Tie Charity Ball has raised an amazing £16,614.90 for our two chosen charities, Jeremiah's Journey and Hearts Together.

This incredible achievement would not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors, businesses, guests, volunteers and everyone who donated, bid in the auction or bought raffle tickets. Your support has made a real difference.

We were delighted to welcome representatives from both charities for a cheque presentation and to celebrate what can be achieved when the business community comes together for a common purpose. These funds will go directly towards supporting the invaluable work carried out by both organisations, helping local families through some of life’s most challenging times. Knowing the money raised will have such a positive impact makes every hour of planning and volunteering worthwhile.

To our committee, thank you for the countless hours you dedicate behind the scenes. To our sponsors and supporters, thank you for believing in what we do. Together, we continue to prove what can be achieved when businesses unite to support their local community.

Planning is already underway for our next fundraising event, and we can’t wait to share more details with you soon. We hope you’ll join us once again as we continue making a difference, together.

Thank you again to our sponsors Michael Spiers Jewellers and production sponsors PL1 Events Limited who helped make the evening such a great success.

Thank you.

On behalf of the committee of the Plymouth Business Charity Group, we would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended our Black Tie Charity Ball and helped make it such a fantastic evening.

Together, you helped raise thousands of pounds for two incredible charities, Hearts Together and Jeremiah's Journey. We can't wait to reveal the final amount when we present the cheques soon.

A special thank you goes to our headline sponsor, Michael Spiers Jewellers, whose generous support helped create a stunning ballroom and a truly memorable evening for our guests.

Thank you also to our Production Sponsor, PL1 Events Limited, whose expertise ensured the sound, lighting and visuals were nothing short of outstanding.

To our VIP table guests, thank you for your additional generosity. Your support made an even greater difference to the charities.

A huge thank you to Pbmedia, who kindly donated their table to the charities, allowing some of their amazing team to enjoy the evening, and to Synergy, who generously donated their table to veterans and NHS workers. Your kindness perfectly reflects the spirit of the event.

We are incredibly grateful to the volunteers from Hearts Together and Jeremiah's Journey, who gave up their evening to help run the raffle and auction. Your enthusiasm and dedication were invaluable.

It was also an honour to welcome His Majesty's Lord Lieutenant of Devon, the Deputy Lord Lieutenant, and the Plymouth Lord Mayor, who were able to see first hand the incredible work both charities do within our community.

Finally, thank you to every business and every guest who bought a ticket, sponsored the event, donated auction prizes and supported us throughout the evening. Quite simply, these events would not be possible without you.

Last night's ball marked another incredible milestone for the Plymouth Business Charity Group. Thanks to your generosity, we have now raised more than £200,000 for charity in total.

That figure represents far more than money. It represents lives changed, families supported, communities strengthened and businesses coming together to make a real difference.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of that journey.
