The Leasing Foundation Summer Party returns for 2026

Share

The Leasing Foundation’s Summer Party returns on Thursday 18 June 2026 at Fortnum’s Bar & Restaurant at The Royal Exchange in the City of London.

Held in partnership with the Foundation’s charity partner, Coach Core Foundation, the event will bring together professionals from across the industry for networking, celebration and fundraising.

Set within the historic surroundings of The Royal Exchange, the Summer Party is designed to offer something different from the traditional industry event, with guests enjoying a relaxed evening featuring food, wine and entertainment in one of London’s best-known venues.

Funds raised from the event will support Coach Core Foundation’s work using sport and apprenticeships to help young people facing barriers, discrimination and limited opportunities access training, mentoring and long-term career opportunities.

Mel Chell, director of the Leasing Foundation Giving Channel, said demand for the event remained strong following last year’s sell-out success.

“Last year’s party sold out so we are delighted to bring the event back for 2026,” she said.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for the industry to celebrate success, reward high performers and spend time together in one of London’s most beautiful venues — all while supporting an incredible charity. Every ticket sold helps Coach Core Foundation continue its important work with young people across the UK.”

The evening will begin at 7pm on Thursday 18 June, with attendees able to enjoy Fortnum’s hospitality while connecting with peers from across the asset finance community.

Tickets are priced at £250 plus VAT and include food, wine and entertainment, and can be reserved by contacting hello@leasingfoundation.org.
