Eighty3 Design’s Dan and Rebecca Cottingham were among the guests at the Wolves Foundation Gala Dinner 2025, an evening celebrating the extraordinary work the Foundation carries out across the Black Country and the lives it continues to change.
The Brierley Hill agency was invited to attend through their work on the Wolves Foundation Sleepout campaign and their connections via the Black Country Chamber of Commerce. The event brought together businesses, community figures, and supporters of the Foundation for a night of inspiring stories and well-deserved recognition.
Guests had the opportunity to meet players from both the Wolves men’s and women’s first teams, but one moment in particular stood out. Dan and Rebecca had the chance to meet John Richards, the Wolves legend and club icon, who happens to hold a very special place in the Eighty3 story. It was John who gave Rebecca her very first graphic design job, making the evening something of a full circle moment for the agency’s director.
The Wolves Foundation does vital work across Wolverhampton and the wider Black Country, using the power of football to support people facing a range of challenges, from mental health and unemployment to education and community cohesion. For Eighty3, being part of that story through their design work is a source of real pride. The agency’s involvement with the Sleepout campaign reflects a wider commitment to working with organisations that make a genuine difference in the communities they serve. A special thank you goes to Laura Cahill for the invitation to attend what was a truly memorable evening.
