My Name’5 Doddie Foundation are thrilled to announce a new long-term charitable partnership with events and wellbeing business hasta World, which will see us host London's most exclusive Burns Night celebrations together over the coming years.

The inaugural My Name'5 Doddie Foundation Burns Supper will be held at The Brewery, Moorgate on 25 January 2022, and while it will honour the legendary Scottish poet's life and work, it will also raise vital funds for motor neuron disease (MND) research.

Rob Fee, Director at hasta World, said: “hasta are absolutely delighted to support Doddie and the fantastic work the Foundation are doing to raise awareness of MND. Bringing the My Name’5 Doddie Burns Supper to the heart of London is going to be a great way to reach so many with messages about the Foundation, it’s incredible work and to raise vital funds to support the growth of the Foundation for years to come".

Jill Douglas, CEO of My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, commented on the partnership: "Partnerships like the one with hasta help us deliver our long term strategy - supporting people living with motor neuron disease and investing in targeted research and we’re extremely grateful and excited for this long-term partnership with the hasta team as we know this support can be life-changing to many."

Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening of entertainment with a four-course dinner accompanied by bagpipes, drams of Whisky and live music, as well as a line-up of well-known celebrities from the worlds of sport and television who will entertain with poems and songs.

Availability is extremely limited, contact burns@hastaworld.com for further details.
