YMC Winter Ball 2024

The YMC Winter Ball was the biggest it's ever been in 2024; bringing together over 1,000 insurance professionals for a night of celebration and networking!

Hosted at City Central at the HAC, guests enjoyed a three-course dinner and an abundance of entertainment including a live band, dance act, LED drummers, fire performers, magicians, and DJs. Throughout the evening, guests also enjoyed walking the red carpet, vintage fairground stalls, face-painters, dodgem rides and photobooths!

This incredible evening was made possible thanks to generous sponsorship from Specialist Risk Group, Munich Re, Marsh, Apollo, Convex, QBE, RSA, Empower Development, Evolin, Harrison Holgate, InsurX and CFC. 

The YMC Winter Ball was proud to support the vital work of The Wickers. Thanks to our event sponsors and attendees an incredible £20,000 was raised - the largest total to date! 

Warren Downey, Group CEO, Specialist Risk Group says "We are delighted to once again support the YMC Winter Ball as Headline Sponsor. Specialist Risk Group is committed to the development of leaders and specialists within our industry, and therefore this is the perfect partnership. We look forward to meeting with the future superstars of insurance!"

"The Wickers Charity is delighted to be the official Charity Partner of the Insurance Institute of London YMC Winter Ball 2024!

We aim to support young people in reaching their full potential regardless of social status, race, religion or postcode. No child should feel the need to carry or use a knife. Nor should they have to engage in anti-social behaviour in the pursuit of money and opportunity.

We offer a range of workshops and programmes in East London that provide young people with free opportunities. Our amazing team of role models support the young people in developing an open mindset to new experiences that may pose as a positive outlet.”
