We’re thrilled to extend an invitation to the community to join us for an evening of elegance, entertainment and generosity at our Charity Ball, in the support of the Southmead Hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
Mark your calendars for Friday 17th May 2024, as we gather at Old Down Manor to raise crucial funds for Southmead Hospital’s ICU. Recognised as a beacon of hope and healing, the ICU holds a special place in our hearts, tirelessly caring for individuals facing life threatening and complex conditions.
The evening promises to be an enchanting affair, commencing at 7pm with a drinks reception, followed with a delectable 3-course meal, crafted by our talented in-house chefs. As the night unfolds, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a live auction and raffle, featuring prizes such as relaxing spa days and staycation getaways. Throughout the evening, they will also have games and a magician to dazzle guests, with lively music and dancing until the early hours. Dress to impress in your finest black-tie attire as the community of Bristol come together for an evening of compassion and unity.
Every single penny from event tickets, auction and raffle will be donated straight to Southmead Hospital ICU to help fund life-saving equipment, important research, bereavement services, staff training and improved facilities.
Together, let us make a difference for the lives of those in need.
