Icelandic Glacial lends support to the British Red Cross London Ball around this years theme - H2O, The Element of Life?
Icelandic Glacial continued its support for worthy charities last night as the Official water Sponsor to the British Red Cross London Ball – entitled ‘H2O The Element of Life’.
The event, which is considered one of the most exciting in London’s social calendar, was held at the Room by the River on London’s South Bank, where guests were treated to aquatic-themed cocktails and a dinner inspired by the flavours and colours of the sea.
