We are committed to making a positive impact not only for this generation but for generations to come.

One off donations

We also recognise that some of our followers may have hidden disabilities that are not always visible. To ensure that everyone feels welcomed and supported, we invite you to wear the yellow sunflower lanyard from Hidden Disabilities at our events. It's a symbol that you are part of our inclusive community, and we're delighted to have you join us.

​

In addition to our main charity support, Celestial Events also makes one-off donations to causes close to our hearts. In 2024, we were proud to support Ovarian Cancer awareness and research during "FROCKtober", helping to make a difference in the lives of those affected by this disease.​​
