Glitter Ball 2025

On Thursday 25^th September, the Dudley Group NHS Charity held its fifth Glitter Ball fundraising event, it took place at the Copthorne Hotel in Dudley. The evening was a huge success with thousands raised from sponsorship, table packages and a raffle and auction on the night. 

Black Country businesses came together to show their support for the charity’s cancer appeal. The appeal helps patients helps make cancer patients and their loved ones’ journeys less overwhelming by funding world-class care, comfort, and support across The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust and in the community.

Thank you to our host, Ellis Ward, who did a fantastic job hosting our event, and to our main speakers; Andy Mullaney and Kirsty Priest, who took guests through their cancer and fundraising journeys.

To end the evening we had Bhangra Smash Up to entertain the guests, with their infectious rhythm everyone was dancing and enjoying themselves. 

The evening raised over £20,000 for the cancer appeal and will help us to fund alternative therapies for all cancer patients across the Trust.  Alternative therapies such as reiki and acupuncture can help to cope better with symptoms caused by the cancer, or side effects caused by cancer treatment.
