The Event
In 2026, Miss Macaroon marks an incredible milestone—15 years of transforming lives through baking a brighter future. Founded by Rosie Ginday MBE in the heart of Birmingham, Miss Macaroon has empowered hundreds of young people while delighting millions with our signature macaroons. This anniversary is more than a celebration; it’s a launchpad for the next chapter of social impact. On Thursday 19th of March at Anchor Point, we invite you to be part of an unforgettable black-tie fundraising gala dinner featuring a drinks reception, Indian family-style dining, entertainment, and an inspiring awards ceremony. This event offers a unique opportunity to champion our mission and help fund the future of Miss Macaroon.

- On-the-night filming and interviewing VIP guests, sponsors and supported young people, using pre-approved questions from the client
- Capturing behind-the-scenes footage of the event
