Events & Challenges

Throughout the year, The Boparan Charitable Trust hosts and supports a range of fundraising events to transform the lives of children with disabilities, life-limiting conditions, and those in extreme poverty. These events include the Super League 5-A-Side Football Tournament, held at Premier League grounds across the UK; a distinguished Golf Classic at the world-renowned Belfry Hotel and Golf Resort; and the charity’s flagship fundraiser, the Bright Star Ball.

Each event plays a crucial role in enabling the Trust’s mission to make a lasting difference in young lives.
