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.

Donate Amount(Required)

“This donation has enabled us to use more varied and useful therapeutic toys and games when working with children and young people with mental health difficulties, as well as using extra clinic rooms which are now more child-friendly. This has helped reduced anxiety about coming to CAMHS and meant that family therapy can be done. Both parents of a 10 year old boy can now attend with their 5 year old as the youngest child can play with our new resources in the waiting room or clinic space. The 10 year old benefited from therapeutic games about thoughts/feelings and we were also able to observe imaginative play for assessment.”
