Lottie’s Way are a charitable foundation who were set up to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged young people, through providing access to resources and education to those who are unable to receive it due to poverty or other barriers.

The charity is named after and was created in memory of Charlotte Hope, who tragically lost her life at the age of 19. Lottie’s Way look to continue Charlotte’s passion for helping children access education around the world.

Charlotte dreamed of becoming a primary school teacher and had hoped to teach in Kenya to continue her belief in the power of education to transform lives.

Following her passing in 2023, her father Neil and brother Chris established Lottie’s Way to continue her legacy.

Since its establishment, Lottie’s Way has looked to partner with organisations and charities worldwide to identify those in need and provide school materials and funding to enhance children’s opportunities.

Tables of 10 are priced at £750 with proceeds going towards the foundation’s projects.

Organisers are encouraging local businesses to show their support by attending the event, sponsoring part of the evening or donating raffle and auction prizes.
