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 specialist treatment chairs are a new vital resource for the therapy team and nursing staff to be able to safely and comfortably sit extremely complex, dependant, critical care patients out of bed. The chairs allow us to begin the patient’s rehabilitation journey by providing appropriate postural support at the same time as pressure relief to allow the patient to build the muscle strength to hold themselves up against gravity. This allows them to begin to interact with their environment in a more normal way, enabling them to participate in meaningful activities such as meal times and activities of daily living.”
