After dinner music will be provided by the fantastic Press To Play with dancing and merriment going on till the early hours. During the evening event there will be prizes to be won from the auction and raffle.

Last year ChildLine Scotland provided a counselling service to approximately 35,000 children, but due to a lack of funds ChildLine still cannot answer all calls from children who need them in the North and North East of Scotland. With your invaluable support ChildLine Aberdeen hope to raise over £40,000 from the 2008 Fire and Ice Ball to enable them to expand their service and help more young people.

Tickets to the ChildLine Fire and Ice Summer Ball are now available priced at £700 for a table of ten or £70 per single ticket. This is the perfect opportunity to entertain some important clients or reward your staff with a fabulously glamorous night out, as well as helping to raise vital funds for ChildLine Scotland.
