Softcat’s flagship fundraising event, the Love2Give Ball, returned for 2026 with a full evening of dinner, live entertainment, an auction and an afterparty. Money will be shared among Softcat’s charity partners:
- Young Lives vs Cancer - helps children and young people with cancer and their families, by providing practical and emotional support throughout treatment and beyond.
- Social Bite - tackles homelessness by providing food and support services and by funding initiatives that help people move into safe, permanent housing.
- Save the Children - works to keep children safe, healthy and learning, responding to crises and supporting long-term programmes for children worldwide.
- A range of local charitable organisations chosen by our regional offices.

Graham Charlton, Softcat CEO, said: "Our Love2Give Ball shows what’s possible when people come together with a shared purpose. It's an important event to us and, we hope, the channel more generally; with every ticket bought, bid placed and donation made having a positive impact far beyond the world of tech.”
David Morgan-Frith, Love2Give community lead, said: “Our headline fundraising event was back with unprecedented support from Softcat’s employees, partners and customers, raising an incredible amount to support our fantastic charities. This industry event once again showcases Softcat’s commitment to social causes, and I’d like to thank everyone involved for their generosity – you have truly made a difference to so many lives in need.”
Thank you to all supporting partners and others in the Softcat team who helped deliver the event behind the scenes.
