In 1987, moved by the plight of Leukaemia sufferers,
a few of us working in the City decided to hold a
fundraising dinner at The Savoy. This proved so successful
that we decided it should become an annual event
every October - hence The October Club

In each of the past 37 years, our committee has chosen a charity with a transformational project to benefit from our fundraising activities.  

To date, we have raised over £16 million for our carefully chosen charities, helping them with a range of projects such as kick-starting groundbreaking research, raising profiles or facilitating brave expansion plans. Our ultimate goal is to help innovative charities achieve that next level. 

The October Club Dinner is the City’s equity business "trade association event”, attended by some 400 City-based individuals. Previously attended by HRH The Duke of Cambridge, the dinner is a pre-sold out event each year. 

This year's dinner was held on Wednesday 16th October at The Savoy, in aid of Back Up.
