"That is why partnering with Naomi and Jack's charity is such an honour.

"It is an incredible opportunity to give back and support a truly remarkable charity that is making a real difference to the lives of children, young adults, and their families."

The gala will raise vital funds for Naomi and Jack’s, which provides hospice care and support for children and young adults across central Southern England.

Karen Sanderson, senior fundraiser (Regional) at Naomi and Jack’s, said: "Naomi and Jack’s are extremely excited to collaborate with Jack and his amazing team in its fundraising efforts for the charity.

“We rely on the kindness and generosity of our community to provide outstanding hospice care for local families, and the money that the Jack Plummer Gala Dinner will raise will make a real difference."

Tickets are £90 per person and include a three-course meal with wine or prosecco, fundraising auctions, a DJ and guest speakers.
