FPUA Events
We proudly report that the FPUA has raised over £67,000 for local causes over the last seven years.
As part of the Association’s commitment to giving back to the local community, our flagship fundraising events—the Golf Day and Christmas Charity Ball—are a cornerstone of our efforts. These events thrive thanks to our members’ remarkable generosity and unwavering support.
In 2023, despite the ongoing geopolitical and economic challenges businesses face, we proudly announce that we collectively raised an incredible £14,000 at the Christmas Charity Ball and 2024 Golf Day. This achievement speaks volumes about the dedication and kindness of our members, who have consistently gone above and beyond to support those in need.
A special thank you goes to everyone who participated in, attended, or supported these events. Your contributions and enthusiasm are the driving force behind our success.
Since Jason began his tenure as Chairman in 2017, the Association has raised an outstanding £67,930 for charitable causes. This milestone underscores the positive impact we can achieve when we come together as a community.
We look forward to continuing this tradition of giving in the years to come and hope to see many of you at our future events.
FPUA Christmas Ball
Members only
The FPUA Christmas Charity Ball is a glittering affair with the deserved reputation of kick-starting the festive celebrations. This black-tie event is one of Felixstowe’s most celebrated charity gatherings, attracting a range of guests to enjoy an evening of fine dining, hospitality, and fundraising that makes a difference.
Previously held at the Orwell Hotel, Felixstowe, this year’s event will take place at Milsoms, Kesgrave, Ipswich on December 5th, 2025, in partnership with BIFA. Guests can look forward to A-list entertainment and the eagerly anticipated charity raffle, featuring a range of ‘must-have’ prizes donated by local businesses.
It’s another excellent reason to become part of the Association.

FPUA Charity Golf day

Established in 2019, our Charity Golf Day proved so popular it quickly became a firm date in our fundraising calendar.

The 2024 Golf Day was successfully held on another sunny and glorious day, raising £9,000 for local causes and charities.
2024’s grateful beneficiaries include Trimley St Martin Primary School, Felixstowe Carnival Association and Felixstowe Seafarers Association.
