Tuesday's Child Christmas Gala Ball

One of Ireland’s most successful children’s charities “Tuesday’s Child” invites Cinderellas & Prince Charmings of all ages to come to their first ever Christmas Gala Ball, hosted by The Rt. Hon, The Lord Mayor, Cllr. Patrick Convery, on Saturday 18th December 2010, to raise funds for children living in extreme hardship around the world.

Belfast City Hall at Christmas will provide the fairy tale backdrop for what promises to be a glittering and star-studded event. Dress code is Black-Tie & Glass Slippers are optional…!

The ball begins with a drinks reception at 7 p.m. including Christmas carols by stunning Belfast soprano Louise Irvine, accompanied by the St Malachy’s Senior String Quartet.
Dinner includes four-course Christmas fare with wine.

The Master of Ceremonies for the evening is UTV’s very own Prince Charming, Paul Clark. Entertainer & comedian Sean Crummey provides light-hearted after dinner fun. The enchanting Siobhan Pettit and her fabulous 9-piece Jazz swing band “Nightswing” will provide the musical backdrop for a glamorous night of dancing and craic.

To further boost the funds for deprived children there are some fabulous raffle prizes donated by businesses across Belfast as well as a high profile auction.

Auction prizes include a signed drum skin by Tuesday’s Child’s music patron, Snow Patrol, a signed Ulster rugby shirt, a signed rugby shirt by Irish International Paul O’Connell, a football signed by eight of the Liverpool greats and another unique ball signed by former Northern Ireland football star George Best and overnight stay for two in Dublin’s premier 5 star Merrion Hotel.

Auction lots include some fabulous art pieces donated by Irish artists North and South.

“Christmas is a time for reaching out and for giving. It is a time for opening our hearts and helping those who are less fortunate, says Orla Sheehan, from Tuesday’s Child.

“Most of all, it’s a time for children, and too many children in our world live in extreme hardship due to poverty and injustice.

We’re very proud to have been selected as one of the Lord Mayor’s Charities for 2010-’11, and we hope that our first ever Christmas Gala Ball will be a shining star of hope from our home town of Belfast to many children we have come to know and love across the world, and many more we have still to meet”

All proceeds from the evening will go to children living in extreme hardship in Pakistan, India and Gaza. Tickets are £60 and available online from the charity website at http://www.tuesdayschild.org.uk/ or by phoning 02890502725

For further details please contact Clare Gottschalk at 02890502725 or 07545452362 or email events@tuesdaychild.org.uk . Poster for event attached.

StressLess Solutions for Business Seminar 2nd December 2010

The current economic climate has exacerbated the number of cases of work-related stress and it is now more important than ever for companies to be seen to be taking the issue of corporate stress management more seriously.

• £125 million per year is lost by businesses in Northern Ireland due to mental ill-health

The good news is that StressLess Solutions can solve your corporate stress management problems. Our professional and innovative approach to training and consultancy in this area ensures that businesses of all sizes are provided with a comprehensive solution to enable them to meet HSE Management Standards by creating a healthy working environment for staff of all levels.

Facebook for Business Workshop

This workshop will introduce you to the concept of social media - in particular Facebook - and how it can be used to promote (yourself and) your organisation. There will be a swift, jargon-free run-through of what is available (most of it free). The session will emphasize the practicalities of getting involved with social media, including ongoing time commitment.

Following a short introduction, and a session on developing a Facebook strategy, the remainder of the day will focus entirely on how to use Facebook for business.

All attendees should bring their own Wifi enabled laptop. If you are unsure whether your laptop can connect to Wifi, please contact us before booking.

For a full workshop outline, email info@sensei-winbeforehand.co.uk .

Who should attend?
It is most suitable for those who have no clear strategy for using Facebook for Business, and only a basic working knowledge of the world wide web is assumed. Those who already use some forms of social media (perhaps on a personal basis) will gain an additional insight into how this could be translated to business purposes. And, they will find their knowledge and awareness of the new tools available is increased.

Presenter: Dawn Baird

She specialises in Training for Trainers; IT Training; Social Media; Customer Service; and Personal and Professional Development (particularly Assertiveness).

Export Technologies/Trade Talk Continued Success and Growth!

The Belfast Business Centre wishes continued success to Export Technologies and Trade Talk.

Based in the Belfast Business Centre since 2005, Daniel Loughlin has grown his companies, Export Technologies and Trade Talk, from a one man operation to that of a highly qualified team of 11 before having to make the decision to relocate in order to be able to accommodate their 2010 expansion plans.

While it is sad to see this fantastic group of people leave the centre, it has been a great opportunity and success story for the Belfast Business Centre, Export Technologies and Trade Talk as all three companies started at similar times and have gone from strength to strength together.
