TINY LIVES BALL 2024 RAISES THOUSANDS FOR PREMATURE AND SICK BABIES IN THE NORTH EAST & CUMBRIA

The Tiny Lives 2024 Charity Ball took place on Saturday 5th October 2024 at the Hilton Hotel on the Newcastle Gateshead Quayside. Our guests stepped into the world of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, raising just under £27,000 to support sick and premature babies and their families across the North East and Cumbria.

The wonderful Pete Graves returned to host the evening and live music was provided by local heroes Aukestra who had the dancefloor full from the very first song!

Louise Carroll, Community and Events Fundraiser here at Tiny Lives said, “Our annual charity ball is an event that we look forward to every year, it’s one of our biggest fundraising events of the year and it’s a chance to celebrate the hard work of the team on the Neonatal Unit at the RVI and to show our wonderful supporters how we continue to support the families and babies going through the neonatal journey. It’s also a chance to bring our fantastic community together for a fun-filled evening. I want to extend an enormous thank you from everyone at Tiny Lives, it really was a night to remember! And it only happened because of our amazing supporters and sponsors”

Our sponsors and supporters on the evening only make this possible and we want to say huge thank you to:

We also wanted to extend a big thank you to Sue Comb who has kindly made all our table centre pieces for the last 5 years at no costs to the charity.  The SK Dance School of Performing Arts and West End Prep Musical Theatre for entertaining our guests through the drink’s reception and during the evening, and not forgetting all the individual supporters who donated prizes for the evening, your kindness has helped to raise thousands of pounds to support babies and families spending time on the neonatal unit.

We hope that you all enjoyed the evening just as much as we did, we’re already excited for 2025! See you there.
