FPUA Events
We are proud to report that the FPUA has raised over £50,000 for local causes over the last six years.
As part of the Association’s ethos of giving back to the local community, our flagship fundraising events are held annually. Thanks to the generosity and support of the members, these continue to be successful.
Despite the geopolitical and economic challenges businesses continue to face, we are delighted to have raised a hugely impressive £14,00 collectively at the 2023 Christmas Ball and 2024 Golf Day.
Thank you to everyone who participated in, attended, and supported our Golf Day and Charity Christmas Ball. The generosity of our members far exceeded our hopes.
FPUA Christmas Ball
Members only
The Christmas Charity Ball is a glittering affair with the deserved reputation of kick-starting the festive celebrations. The black-tie event is one of Felixstowe’s most celebrated charity events, attracting a range of guests to enjoy an evening of fine dining, hospitality, and fundraising that can make a difference.
Held at the Orwell Hotel, Felixstowe, A-list entertainment is guaranteed, as is the eagerly anticipated charity raffle with a range of ‘must-have’ prizes donated by local businesses.
Another good reason to become part of the Association.

FPUA Charity Golf day
Members and Non-Members
Established in 2019, our Charity Golf Day proved so popular it quickly became a firm date in our fundraising calendar.
Held at the award-winning Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club, the event is open to members and non-members. Teams of four can be formed.
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.
Thanks go to our 2024 sponsors and supporters for their loyalty and commitment.
The sixth Charity Golf Day will be on Friday, 23rd May 2025, and we will contact members with further details in due course.
The Golf Day is also ideal if you are looking for an exclusive way to entertain clients, embark on friendly rivalry with colleagues, or showcase your brand or company via sponsorship. The Felixstowe Port Users’ Association Charity Golf Day has a range of sponsorship opportunities to suit your needs and budget.
