Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber, Doncaster Chamber, and Sheffield Chamber have all confirmed their support for the Manufacturing Charity Ball 2026, uniting three of South Yorkshire's leading business organisations behind the region's biggest night of celebration for the manufacturing sector.
The Manufacturing Charity Ball, hosted by Elevation Recruitment Group, returns to Magna in Rotherham on 13 November 2026. The event brings together manufacturers, engineers, and suppliers from across Yorkshire and the surrounding regions for an evening celebrating the sector, whilst raising vital funds for Weston Park Cancer Charity and Create A Dream Foundation.
Last year's inaugural ball raised over £51,000 and welcomed more than 300 guests from over 30 manufacturing businesses. With three chambers now backing the event and more than 300 guests already confirmed for 2026, organisers are targeting 500 attendees and an even greater fundraising total this year.
"To have three of the region's leading chambers standing behind this event shows just how connected and proud our manufacturing community is. This isn't just Elevation's event, it belongs to the whole sector, and we can't wait to bring even more businesses together on 13 November." - John Bohan, Commercial Director, Elevation Recruitment Group
