What happens when a local brewery, a passionate charity, and a room full of dedicated supporters come together? You get an unforgettable evening of celebration, connection, and inspiration.
Earlier this month, Unseen teamed up with Bristol-based brewery Wiper and True for a night to remember. Hosted at their vibrant Old Market Taproom, the event marked an opportunity to toast our achievements, bring supporters and staff together, and prepare for the challenges ahead.
From the warm atmosphere to the thoughtful line up of activities, here’s a taste of what made the night so special.

A partnership brewed to perfection
Wiper and True selected Unseen as their local charity partner for November, pouring their passion for community support into our shared mission to combat modern slavery.
Throughout the month, they’ve been generously supporting us with various fundraising activities, from a “Karma Keg” where a portion of the profits from a tap went straight to Unseen to a lively pub quiz that tested both knowledge and funny bones.
A night to remember
The evening was alive with memorable moments. Guests were treated with the soulful sounds of Joe and the Temperance Two, an incredible folk band featuring one of Unseen’s very own frontline staff (yes, we’ve got talent, too!). And thanks to our partners at Houria, a catering company supporting female survivors of modern slavery, everyone enjoyed a feast as meaningful as it was mouthwatering.
A touch of friendly competition added to the fun, with a special raffle offering prizes like a free skydive (who’s brave enough?), a Wiper and True brewery tour, and even a night’s stay at a Leonardo Hotel.
With £300 raised through raffle sales and ticket purchases, we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed! This will directly support our work, enabling survivors of modern slavery to access life-changing services.

Raising a glass to community
But the night was more than just fundraising—it was about building connections. For many of our supporters, it was a chance to meet the team behind Unseen and hear firsthand how their contributions are making an impact.
Andrew Wallis, Unseen’s CEO, delivered a heartfelt talk about this year’s challenges and victories, leaving everyone—from longtime supporters to Wiper and True staff—feeling inspired to learn more about our mission.
For our staff, it was a particularly memorable night. Working behind the scenes doesn’t always allow us to interact with the people who believe in our mission, so this was a rare and wonderful opportunity to share stories, answer questions, and express our gratitude face-to-face. The evening reminded us of the power of community and why we do what we do.
A toast to the future
The event was a perfect example of what we can achieve when businesses and communities join forces for a common cause. From the generosity of Wiper and True to the passion of our supporters, the evening exceeded our expectations.
With partnerships like these, the future looks bright. If your business is inspired to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s hosting an event, donating, or raising awareness, every effort counts in the fight against modern slavery. Get in touch with us today at [email protected] to learn more.
