Our annual celebration returns
On Thursday 4th December, the Andrew Simpson Foundation invites you to an extraordinary evening at the historic Fishmongers’ Hall, one of London’s most distinguished livery halls.
Hosted by Sir Ben Ainslie MBE and Dr Iain Percy OBE, this exclusive gala will bring together our most valued partners, patrons, and supporters for an evening of celebration, inspiration, and impact.
The theme “Where Heritage Meets Purpose” reflects not only the grandeur of our venue, but also our enduring mission: to harness the legacy of Andrew “Bart” Simpson and transform lives through the power of sailing and watersports.
An evening of distinction
Guests will enjoy:
- A champagne reception in Fishmongers’ historic riverside rooms
- A fine dining three-course dinner with wine pairings
- Live entertainment throughout the evening
- Inspirational reflections from our hosts and partners
- A prestigious auction of exclusive experiences and memorabilia
Transforming lives, together
This is more than a dinner; it is an opportunity to shape the future of young people across the UK. Your support enables the Andrew Simpson Foundation to:
- Open access to sailing and watersports for underrepresented young people
- Deliver pathways into education, training, and maritime careers
- Build partnerships that connect heritage, community, and opportunity
Together with esteemed individuals and programme partners, we are charting a course towards a brighter future, and your support is a vital part of our journey.
