Since its launch in 2023, the Sedulo Foundation has provided 2,500 young people with school essentials, sanitary products, and Christmas gifts, bringing the total number of young people Sedulo has supported since its inception 15 years ago to nearly 10,000.

In 2023, nearly 1,000 children were provided with essential school items and food vouchers, while 17,000 Christmas gifts were given to kids. Additionally, £22,000 worth of Christmas Dinner vouchers were distributed. The latest campaign has also seen young women receive a year's supply of sanitary products to combat the escalating issue of period poverty.

Cathryn Wright, Chair of the Sedulo Foundation, expressed:. "The 2024 Sedulo Foundation Colour Ball is shaping up to be an incredible evening as we bring together some of the biggest names from music, entertainment and business to help raise essential funds for some of the most disadvantaged young people in the UK."

"The Sedulo Foundation has already started to make a huge difference, but we want to do even more. Nights like this will help us to achieve that goal, and I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has pledged their support, as well as the brilliant line-up of artists, including Emeli, Damage, Dane, Angie, Sally and all of those involved."
