Nugent has raised an impressive £2,345 through its partnership with the City of Manchester Business Awards 2026, alongside a fantastic selection of in-kind prize donations from businesses across the Downtown in Business network.
As the charity partner for COMBA26, Nugent was supported by businesses and guests throughout the evening, with fundraising helping to support the charity’s vital work across communities.
Held at The Lowry Hotel and hosted by Lucy Meacock, the City of Manchester Business Awards brought together businesses, organisations and individuals from across the city to celebrate the very best of Manchester’s business community.
The event also provided an important opportunity for Nugent to connect with businesses and begin conversations around further support for the charity, including its upcoming Gala.
The evening demonstrated the strength of collaboration between Manchester’s business community and the charity sector, with businesses coming together not only to celebrate success but to make a positive difference.
A huge thank you goes to everyone who donated, contributed prizes and supported Nugent throughout the evening.
Downtown in Business is proud to have supported Nugent as the charity partner for COMBA26 and looks forward to continuing to support its work.
