The Presidents Club Charitable Trust was a British charity[1][2] known for an annual charity dinner held from 1985 to 2018. The dinner, held usually at The Dorchester hotel in London, was for male guests only and was considered a "mainstay of London's social calendar".[3] After the Financial Times reported[3] on sexual misconduct at the 2018 dinner, the charity announced its intent to disband.[4]
The charitable trust's joint chairmen as of 2018 were the property developer Bruce Ritchie and the businessman and Department for Education director David Meller.[3][5]
