The Big Goal Gala

The annual celebration of business, impact and opportunity.

The Big Goal Gala is the flagship annual gathering of The Big Goal community.

Held for the first time in June 2026, it brought together Members, Strategic Partners and Ambassadors for an evening celebrating what business can do when it comes together.

The Gala recognises achievement, celebrates impact, strengthens relationships and reaffirms a collective commitment to helping young people build better futures.

Most importantly, it brings together the people making the change happen.

The Big Goal Gala – Event Terms & Conditions

The Big Goal Gala

Event Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions apply to all ticket holders, table hosts, sponsors and attendees (“Guests”) of The Big Goal Gala (the “Event”), organised and delivered by the Street Soccer Foundation (“the Organiser”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a registered charity in England and Wales.

By purchasing a ticket, reserving a table, or entering into a sponsorship agreement for the Event, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.

 

1. Event Details

The Organiser reserves the right to amend the Event date, venue, format, content, speakers, entertainment or programme where reasonably necessary.

While every effort will be made to deliver the Event as advertised, the Organiser does not guarantee the appearance of any particular guest speaker, performer or personality.

 

2. Bookings & Payment

2.1 Tickets & Tables

  • All ticket and table bookings must be paid in full by the stated payment deadline unless otherwise agreed in writing.
  • A booking is confirmed only once payment has been received or a written agreement has been signed.

  • Cancellations within 60 days of the Event are non-refundable.
  • Tickets and tables may be transferred to another named guest with prior written notice to the Organiser.

Sponsorship fees are non-refundable once marketing, promotional or production benefits have commenced.

As this is a fundraising event in support of the Street Soccer Foundation’s charitable work, many costs are committed in advance and refunds cannot generally be provided.

The Organiser reserves the right to postpone, relocate or reasonably alter the format of the Event due to circumstances beyond its control, including but not limited to:

  • Acts of God

The Organiser shall not be liable for any consequential losses, including travel or accommodation costs.

 

5. Sponsorship Benefits & Branding

Sponsors grant the Organiser a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use their company name and logo for the purposes of promoting and delivering the Event.

Sponsors may not:

  • Sub-license or resell their sponsorship package
  • Share branding benefits without prior written consent
  • Promote unrelated events or causes during the Event without approval

All branding materials must comply with UK law and must not be offensive, discriminatory or inappropriate.
