Airedale Hospital and Community Charity to throw grand ball for 30th birthday

Wednesday, 30 April 2025 11:25

Airedale Hospital's colleagues

Airedale Hospital and Community Charity will hold a ball for its 30th birthday at the East Riddlesden Hall this October.

Following on from the success of The Grand Ball in 2024 where a fantastic £10,206 was raised for Airedale’s Neonatal Unit, a second ball is to be held on Friday 10 October to celebrate Airedale Hospital and Community Charity’s 30th year of operation.

Funds raised from the evening will be going towards the charity’s ‘where it’s needed (WIN)’ fund.

This enables the charity to continue funding items across the Trust to support all patients, visitors and colleagues.

Skipton based Fenetic Wellbeing have also provided sponsorship for various elements of the evening.

Jodie Hearnshaw, Charity Manager said:

“We’re really excited to return to East Riddlesden Hall this October for our birthday celebrations.

"It’s an incredible achievement to have 30 years of operation behind you as a charity and myself and my team are very proud to be behind the celebrations this year.

“It’s given us a fantastic opportunity to reflect on everything that we as a charity has done to give back to our patients, colleagues and community over the years and this is something we’re looking forward to sharing with our attendees on the night.”

Tickets are now available to purchase for £65 per person.

That includes a drinks reception with canapes, a three-course meal, fundraising auction, and live entertainment and games courtesy of compere Mark Your Occasion.
