Amelia Lily, 911 and more to support James Bulger Charity Ball

The James Bulger Memorial Trust Black Tie & Tiara Ball returns to Crowne Plaza Liverpool on Saturday 17th March, and the acts performing on the night have been confirmed.

The trust was set up in James’s name and aims to help those who have been victims of crime, bereavement or bullying by offering cost free travel, holiday accommodation and support.

This years ball is the charities 5th and marks what would have been James’s 28th birthday. It also coincides with the release of his mum Denise’s book ‘I Let Him Go’ which tells the heartbreaking story of a mother who said goodbye to a son, far too soon.

Already the book has been praised for giving strength to thousands across the globe, we went to the book’s launch and spoke with Denise about the release (watch below)

This Thursday on ITV at 9pm you can see a full 60 minute documentary as Denise joins one of the UK’s most respected journalists and presenters for James Bulger: A Mother’s Story with Trevor McDonald.

Tickets for the Black Tie & Tiara Ball are on sale now, and already famous faces and musicians are offering their support in appearing or performing on the night. Ticket price includes a three course meal, drinks reception and entertainment, all served up Dockside at Crown Plaza Liverpool’ stunning event space.
