Noble Gift Gala
Supporting a Major International Charity Event
In 2011, Majid Lavji was involved with the Noble Gift Gala, the high-profile international fundraising event held at The Dorchester in London and hosted by HRH Prince Azim of Brunei and Eva Longoria.
The Noble Gift Gala brought together figures from the worlds of business, entertainment, sport and philanthropy to raise funds and awareness for charitable causes supporting children and women internationally.

Drawing on his experience in football, events and celebrity relationships, Majid provided support around the organisation, strategy, marketing and profile of the event, working with those involved to help bring together the right people and resources.
Majid also helped provide sporting personalities for the evening, including former Liverpool and England footballer John Barnes, who was involved with the event as an auctioneer, as well as assisting with marketing support around the gala.
The project added another dimension to Majid's experience, demonstrating his ability to work beyond the traditional football environment and contribute to large-scale charitable events involving international figures, celebrities, commercial partners and philanthropic organisations.
It also built on Majid's previous involvement with charity-based football initiatives and his belief that the profile and relationships created through sport can be used to support wider social causes.
Majid's Role
Majid Lavji has extensive experience supporting and organising charity-based events, from serving as a trustee to advising organising committees on their strategy, objectives, structure and delivery.
For the Noble Gift Gala, Majid worked with the wider event team to help strengthen the profile and organisation of the evening. His involvement included helping secure appropriate sporting and celebrity participation, including former Liverpool and England footballer John Barnes, as well as professional auctioneer Andrew Binstock.
Majid also helped bring together a marketing team to support the promotion and overall delivery of the gala.
The project demonstrated Majid's ability to use his football, sporting and business network within a high-profile charitable environment, bringing together the right people, partners and support around a major international fundraising event.
The Noble Gift Gala added to Majid's wider experience of using sport, events and high-profile relationships to support charitable and social causes.
