Kisharon Langdon’s Fundraising Dinner welcomed over 750 guests to Grosvenor House on Wednesday 28th January for an uplifting and inspiring evening, raising an extraordinary £1.7 million to support its life-changing services for people with learning disabilities and autistic people. The evening was made even more special by the active involvement of people supported by Kisharon Langdon, who took on roles ranging from helping at reception, assisting with production, to MCing on stage, demonstrating confidence, professionalism and pride throughout the night.
With the powerful theme “This Is My Life”, the dinner celebrated individuality, ambition and the shared belief that everyone deserves not just to exist, but to thrive. Throughout the evening, guests saw how this belief is brought to life every day through Kisharon Langdon’s growing services and how their generosity makes that possible.
A highlight of the night was a joyful performance by Britain’s Got Talent finalists, Electric Umbrella, who performed a bespoke song written in collaboration with pupils from the Wohl Campus, Kisharon Noé School, a Loftus Learning Centre. The performance embodied the warmth, creativity and confidence that flourish when people are supported to express themselves.
Guests were also deeply moved by speeches from Marc Butcher, Shammai Rotenberg and Sarah Merriman, all of whom are supported by Kisharon Langdon, and who shared their personal experiences, speaking powerfully about how the charity has enabled them to build independence, connection and purpose in their lives.
The appeal film, also titled “This Is My Life”, followed the stories of Leah, Channi and Chanochi, offering an intimate look at how tailored, compassionate support from Kisharon Langdon transforms everyday opportunities into meaningful lives.
