Why This Evening Matters Now

As Jordan marks 80 years of independence, this anniversary offers a moment not only to celebrate the Kingdom’s remarkable history, but also to recognise the resilience, generosity, and compassion that continue to define its people and institutions today.

At a time when many communities in the region face complex social and humanitarian challenges, organisations across Jordan are working tirelessly to support vulnerable children, families, and individuals in need. The charities highlighted at this Gala Dinner represent some of the most impactful efforts, providing humanitarian aid, education for children with special needs, medical care, and compassionate support for those facing serious illness.

This evening brings together friends of Jordan in the United Kingdom to celebrate a milestone in the nation’s history while also supporting the work that will help shape its future. By joining us, you will be part of a community committed to strengthening the enduring relationship between the UK and Jordan and to supporting the organisations that are making a real difference on the ground.

Together, we can mark this historic anniversary in a way that is not only celebratory but also meaningful and lasting.
