This Saturday is the date originally planned for the 2020 MedEquip4Kids Shimmer Ball, which unfortunately can’t take place this year due to the difficult circumstances. If you’ve attended the Shimmer Ball before, you’ll know it’s one of our most glamorous and enjoyable social events, featuring music, dancing, entertainment, and delicious food and drink.

We’ve been proud to host the ball for the past 14 years and it usually raises around £50,000 to help us fund children’s medical equipment. We’re so sorry to be missing it this time, but we anticipate welcoming you to an even bigger and better event in 2021.

In the meantime, we hope you and your family are staying safe and well. If you’d like to make a donation in lieu of attending the 2020 Shimmer Ball, please click here. Thank you so much.

“The new outdoor area will boost mood and morale, creating social opportunities in a safe space free from medical interventions and providing distraction from pain and illness. It offers play opportunities for siblings too, helping to normalise the hospital environment and bridge the gap between home and hospital.”
