Held in aid of Unicef

Fans of the Spice Girls weren’t the only ones celebrating on the night. The event was held in aid of Unicef and, after a difficult year, more than £200,000 was raised for the charity.

Jonny Dodge, founder of The Grand Prix Ball, said: “The past 12 months has seen many global disasters and emergencies, from the Turkey and Syria earthquakes to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, the work of UNICEF is as important as ever.

“We are very excited and honoured to be partnering with such a hardworking global organisation as UNICEF,” he then added.
