**Applications are open until 11 February for this year’s The October Club charity
partner.**

Since 1987, The October Club has raised over £13m for charities through its annual
dinners. It holds an annual Ascot Race Day in July, where members of the charity
of the year, the committee and guests can get to know each other, and to which the
charity is encouraged to invite its key supporters and trustees. The main event –
the dinner – then takes place in October. This sees guests introduced to The October
Club’s charity of the year, why its work is important and how funds raised will 
be used and also includes a ‘money can’t buy’ auction.

Last year’s charity partner was [The Cares Family](https://www.thecaresfamily.org.uk/),
which benefitted from over £900,000 raised at the 2021 dinner. Previous years have
seen James’ Place, SIA, WellChild, [The MS Trust](https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/07/07/ms-trust-chosen-october-clubs-official-charity-partner/),
The Brain Tumour Charity and The Honeypot Children’s Charity among those supported.
