Claire Enders with co-host Kevin Mathers, Country Sales Director at Google UK, celebrated some of the key achievements the dinners have bought to the cause over the years creating a legacy for the NSPCC and Childline, raising over £12.5m to date. The dinner began with welcoming remarks from Claire and Kevin.  The NSPCC then presented some of their most recent triumphs and highlighted the areas that need further support. Actress and Childline ambassador Natalie Dormer provided her perspective on the continued importance of the work that Childline does to protect the welfare of children across the UK.

Each year a select list of 120 CEOs, Chairmen, board members and other senior executives are invited to attend. The continuous support the industry offers was evident in the number of conversations at dinner with offers of lending time and expertise to help the NSPCC achieve their goals and company donations.
