The Black and Gold Ball, which took place on Friday, hosted a night of glitz and glamour while raising vital funds for children and families battling childhood cancers in and around Milton Keynes.
The Henry Allen Trust was formed after Henry Allen, aged just 4, gained his angel wings after battling Stage 4, High Risk, MYCN Amplified Neuroblastoma for 2 years. Before gaining his angel wings in October 2013, he made his mummy and daddy a ‘Pinkie Promise’ to help more families like theirs.
Henry’s Legacy continues and Henry’s Happiness has won the hearts of our community and his legacy is carried on through the trust, with its many supporters, volunteers and Team Henry staff.
On Friday September 30th, The Henry Allen Trust held its Black and Gold Ball at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel.
The charity has announced that a huge £12,571.77 was raised.
The Trust supports families and hospitals by providing care packs, activity packs, arts and crafts and regularly visiting hospitals across Herts, Beds, Bucks, Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire, West Midlands and London.
Every month they hold a THAT support, which allows all the families that they support to come together and enjoy time in a social environment. They hold annual events including; THAT Easter Egg appeal, THAT Family Fun Day, THAT Black and Gold Ball, THAT Fireworks and THAT Christmas Stocking Appeal as well as a continuous Care Pack Appeal.
The Trust also work alongside hospitals to improve their services and have already seen major changes and improvements thanks to the collaboration between them and the hospitals that they work with.
