More than £12,500 was raised for three Hackney charities thanks to the generosity of guests at the Hackney Speaker’s annual Dinner Gala.
Local business owners, mayors from across London, councillors and guests came together for the annual fundraising celebration, with all the money divided between the Speaker’s chosen charities: Hackney Food Bank, Immediate Theatre and Hestia, an organisation that helps survivors of domestic abuse and their families rebuild their lives.

I am overwhelmed with the generosity of people who donated to my nominated charities. It was amazing to see so many faces attend and take part in this annual gala dinner. Thank you to all of the organisations and others that supported this event.
The Speaker of Hackney, Cllr Sade Etti,
