Allocation of Funds

Charitable Commitment

The heart of the Medology Dinner lies in supporting the Zubaida Khaliq Memorial Trust and our charity partners. We are committed to ensuring that all profits from the event are donated directly to these causes. Profits are defined as the remaining funds after the essential event-related costs are deducted, ensuring that the vast majority of resources raised benefit the intended cause.

Event Expenses and Administrative Costs

To deliver a memorable and meaningful experience, there are necessary costs involved in the event’s organisation. These include, but are not limited to:

    • Venue hire: Ensuring a space that reflects the significance of the event and provides an engaging experience for our guests.
    • Catering: Providing high-quality food and refreshments to enhance the communal spirit of the evening.
    • Logistics and operations: Covering transportation, event management, equipment hire, and décor to facilitate a smooth and professional event.
