Held during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Black History Month, the first ever Black Women Rising Fundraising Gala was an unforgettable evening, marking a major milestone for the charity and its growing impact.

We were commissioned to design the visual identity for the event, working closely with the team to shape the look and feel across every touchpoint. The aesthetic needed to feel elegant with a black and white, vintage theme, inspired by the venue.
The Gala itself took place at The Waldorf Hilton in London, welcoming over 250 guests from the worlds of health, politics, sport and the arts. Performances from Emeli Sandé and Carroll Thompson added warmth and soul to the evening, hosted by broadcaster Angie Greaves. Key speeches were delivered by Elizabeth Hurley, Leanne Pero MBE and Dawn Butler MP, each reinforcing the urgent need for better representation and support for Black women facing cancer in the UK.

Our creative work included:

• The core event branding and visual direction
• Social media materials in the lead-up to the event
• A series of large-format slides to guide the compère through the evening
• Branded backdrops, donation cards and printed collateral
• Guest and VIP invitations, tickets and signage
• The design of the bespoke ‘Beacon of Light’ award

The feel is celebratory, without losing sight of purpose. From digital assets to physical print, the visuals were built to carry the weight of the stories being told.

This was more than a fundraiser, it was a moment of recognition, resilience and reflection, made powerful by the stories, voices and the community that continues to grow around this movement.
