Hampshire Hospitals Charity presents: Charity Ball 2023
We are delighted to, this October, be hosting our very first Charity Ball! The evening will be an opportunity to celebrate Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (HHFT) and the wonderful colleagues that make up Team HHFT, all whilst raising funds for our flagship campaign, The Magic Lion Appeal.
As our biggest fundraising event of the year, we are excited to reveal that the evening will host welcome drinks, a full three course meal, live music, a raffle, a dance performance from the Basingstoke Academy of Dance as well as an auction for you to get involved with.
By joining us, you’ll be helping to support our fundraising campaign The Magic Lion Appeal, which is raising funds to make improvements to our child health department across Basingstoke, Winchester, Andover and Alton hospitals.
Our goal for this is to raise £400,000 so that we can fund improvements including equipment investment, redecoration of wards as well as a complete reconfiguration of the children's wards at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital. Doing this will enable staff to access patients quicker and easier, improving timeliness, as well as allowing patients greater space to be seen and a more comfortable, suitable environment. These improvements will also make sure that we are fit for the future and can keep up with the increasing demand on our services.
We invite you to join us on the night for an evening to remember. Please do share this with your friends, colleagues and wider community - we’d love to see as many of you there as possible.
Dress code: lounge suits but black tie encouraged.
On the night:
As the evening begins at 6.30pm, you will be welcomed to Audleys Wood Hotel with a glass of fizz and some time to enjoy light canapes whilst you discover the venue hall. At 7.30pm, you’ll be seated at your tables and hear from some of our team about the work that we do, as well as have the opportunity to take part in our charity auction run by Jumblebee.
Following this, you’ll then be served a delicious three course meal, selected yourself from the menu linked below, and be able to watch a live dance performance from the Basingstoke Academy of Dance between two of the courses.
You can then dance the night away to a live band and get involved in our charity activities as we wrap up the auction and bring the night to a close.
The menu is set for all attendees, but once you have purchased your ticket please inform us of any dietary requirements including opting for the vegan main via email before Friday 15 September. Click here to view the menu
