26 May 2025

Wongs Jewellers was honoured to support the LFC Foundation Gala Ball on Friday evening at the iconic Liverpool Cathedral, continuing a valued partnership that has spanned several years. As passionate advocates for giving back to our city, Wongs has proudly supported the Foundation’s efforts through previous gala events and charitable initiatives.

This year, Wongs donated a sterling silver and diamond initial necklace, which will be a custom-made to order for the winning bidder at our Liverpool showroom, crafted by our expert jewellers, the piece will be personalised with the recipient’s chosen initial which is a unique keepsake designed to mark a meaningful moment.

The event was hosted by John Bishop and BBC Breakfast’s Sally Nugent, with a heartfelt fireside chat by Jurgen Klopp, who generously contributed €100,000 (£84,000) to help fund food programmes for families over the school holidays. The room was brought to its feet by Heather Small of M People, who delivered an unforgettable performance.

The live auction, led by charismatic TV auctioneer Charles Hanson (Bargain Hunt), featured an array of money-can’t-buy experiences and exclusive items, including Wongs’ bespoke donation. While the final total raised has yet to be announced, previous LFC Foundation Gala Balls have raised over £950,000, and this year’s event was no exception. Once again rallying the power of the Liverpool community for lasting impact.

Cynthia Cartwright, Commercial Director at Wongs Jewellers, said,

“We’re so proud to support the LFC Foundation and the incredible work they do. We’ve been involved for a number of years now, and it’s always an honour to contribute. This year’s necklace will be designed in partnership with the winning bidder, a piece made with love and crafted right here in the heart of Liverpool.”
