Our Past Charity Balls

The 80’s came back with a bang for one unforgettable night, as the Bringing Back the 80’s Charity Ball raised an incredible £4,607! This amazing amount was raised despite being our ball with the lowest guest turnout across all six events so far, making it a truly remarkable achievement.

A heartfelt thank you goes to everyone who attended, sponsored, donated prizes, bought raffle tickets, and bid in the auction—this night wouldn’t have been possible without your generosity and support.

The theme was a blast to bring to life, thanks to an incredible team of collaborators. Huge shoutouts to With Love Hope for the spectacular balloons and photo wall, Expert Entertainment for the dance floor and décor, Big Event Drapery for the stunning black drapes, Charm Events Decor for chair covers and bows, and My Fun Photobooth for providing the best photobooth experience.

A standout moment was the surprise arrival of the original Ghostbusters car, made possible by Ecto Mobile UK, which delighted guests and added a nostalgic touch. Kane Design and Build once again wowed everyone with amazing props that truly brought the 80’s theme to life.

Thanks also to Loving Moments Events for beautiful table covers and Surrey National Events for hosting us once again. Photography and videography were expertly handled by Life is in the Detail Photography and Raquel, capturing the magic of the night.

Last but not least, DJ Dubble S kept the dance floor alive all night long, proving once again why he’s our number one party starter.

The Winter Wonderland Ball was every bit as magical as we dreamed, filled with unforgettable surprises and joyful moments. 

One of the biggest highlights was the long-kept secret announcement that Unmask Cancer is now officially a registered cancer charity—a proud milestone after five years of dedication and support.

This year was especially meaningful as the founder bravely delivered her own speech for the first time, marking five years in remission and sharing the charity’s journey. 

Adding to the magic was a very special first-ever proposal at the event—congratulations to Krystal and Scott! It was an honour to witness such a beautiful moment.

Kane Design & Build once again brought the theme to life with spectacular props. Guests were greeted by a Narnia wardrobe entrance leading into a winter forest, complete with Christmas trees, silver thrones for photo ops, and even a ski lift—perfect for memorable pictures.

 The auction and raffle featured incredible prizes like artwork by Will McNally, football memorabilia, beauty products, show tickets, and more—the most raffle prizes we’ve had yet!

The night was filled with glamour and fun, with DJ Dubble S keeping the dance floor packed and an atmosphere that no Unmask Cancer event is complete without. Huge thanks to Surrey National Golf Club for hosting and to everyone who attended, donated, sponsored, and bid in the auction.

Our latest Casino Ball was a fantastic success, with guests dressed to impress and ready to play their way to big wins. Held once again at the beautiful Surrey National Golf Club, the evening brought together friends and supporters for a night full of fun and fundraising.

Thanks to everyone’s generosity and enthusiasm, we raised £4,000 for our two chosen cancer charities, Willow Foundation and Trekstock. 

The highlight of the evening was the thrilling casino experience. We hired four casino tables from Casino Event Hire, including poker, roulette, and blackjack, which kept everyone entertained throughout the night. The excitement at the tables played a big role in reaching our fundraising goal.

Our brilliant magician Wayne from Magic in a Trice returned for the fourth year, dazzling guests with his tricks and expertly hosting the raffle and auction. His charm and skill kept the energy high and bids generous.

A special shoutout goes to Kane Design and Build for crafting stunning custom props, including a show-stopping roulette wheel entrance that wowed everyone as they arrived.

The raffle and auction featured fantastic prizes, including a signed Manchester United shirt, golf and spa packages, West End show tickets, escape rooms, beauty treatments, and much more—something for everyone.

Thank you to all our guests for your incredible support and enthusiasm. We can’t wait to see you again at this year’s ball, along with new faces ready to join the fun!

After waiting nearly 2 years, our charity balls were back and it was well worth the wait!

Despite the challenging circumstances of the previous year, nearly 200 tickets were sold, and the night raised a fantastic £3,500 for two incredible cancer charities: Trekstock and the Willow Foundation. We’re so grateful to everyone who bought tickets, dressed up, donated, and supported us.

Guests fully embraced the Halloween theme, arriving in every costume imaginable— from horror characters, zombies, and witches to Disney characters, Vikings, and Marty McFly. The attention to detail was outstanding, and the creativity truly brought the night to life.

We transformed the venue into a full horror experience. Attendees entered through a chilling “Tunnel of Hell” filled with smoke, cobwebs, gravestones, and eerie sounds. A second, smaller room was turned into a horror zone with help from With Love Hope, complete with BOO light-up letters and an 'Academy Award for Best Production Design'-worthy Electric Chair prop from Sean from Kane Design and Build. 

The main room embraced a gothic mansion aesthetic, with burgundy satin table covers, cobwebs, antique books, and "witches’ potion" favours for each guest.

Entertainment included Wayne Trice, who returned for a second year with incredible magic and hosting energy, a selfie pod photo booth, and brilliant caricatures by Chris Burke. The dance floor was buzzing all night thanks to All Star Entertainment for the dance floor and our DJ for putting on the perfect floor-filler tunes.

The Fookin Peaky Blinders Ball....what a night! It exceeded all expectations. From the incredible 1920s-inspired outfits to the stunning Art Deco décor, every detail came together to create an unforgettable evening. Held at the beautiful Surrey National, 163 guests helped us raise an amazing £7,804 for charity.

Guests were welcomed with a surprise – two beautiful horses from E&S Horse and Pony Adventures, offering fantastic photo ops. The evening continued with drinks in the themed Peaky Blinders Ballroom, horse racing entertainment provided by Go Race Nights, and a glamorous dinner in the Gatsby Room. Decor highlights included black and gold touches, candelabras, and light-up letters provided by With Love Hope and Loving Moments Events. Fusion designed our tickets, brochures, and table stationery, adding a polished touch to the event.

Entertainment was top-tier: magician and host Wayne from Magic In A Trice wowed guests, led the raffle and auction, and kept energy high all night. Prizes included a Lake District stay, signed Arsenal shirt, supercar experience, and a Scottish football break at Ibrox Stadium.

The photobooth by My Fun Photo-booth and music from our fantastic DJ kept the laughter, singing, and dancing going all night. Huge thanks to Sam Conquest Photography for capturing it all.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who came, donated, and supported us – especially Surrey National for providing the venue free of charge. Louise, the events manager, was a dream to work with, and we’re already excited to team up again.

"2018 was the first charity night I ever held, it was the first time I had ever done anything on that scale and it was a huge success. The total raised on the night was an amazing £5,227, this was thanks to everyone who bought tickets, 175 were sold which for me was a great achievement ,raffle tickets and those who bid in the auction.

It was such a brilliant night filled with laughter and good vibes, everyone had a great time and it was brilliant to see so many faces we hadn't seen for a while.

The magician was just wow, the photo-booth was a great hit, the decorations made the place look amazing, and the DJ had the dance floor filled.

There was 35 raffle prizes and 15 auction prizes. The prizes ranged from hair cuts, beauty vouchers, food vouchers to bungee jumps, day trips and champagne. The auction was a mix of a weekend away, escape rooms, signed sporting memorabilia and afternoon tea for 2 at the Dorchester Hotel.

I can't thank everyone who attended enough and the venue itself, they very generously let me have the venue for free and Surrey National have done the same again this year.
