About the Charity Gala Ball
Henshaws is delighted to have been selected as one of the beneficiaries of Michael Hymanson charity gala ball on 21st March 2026. The evening will celebrate the incredible work of four remarkable charities, with outstanding performances, unforgettable moments, and the chance to come together to change lives for children and young people across our region. Last year’s event was a truly fantastic night – we can’t wait to do it all again.
Charities supported in 2026 are:
- Henshaws Society for Blind People
- GEM Appeal
- Funding Futures
- Derian House Children’s Hospice
We will split the proceeds from the Charity Gala Ball between the four listed charities. We would love to see you there to celebrate Henshaws and the other charities as they go the extra mile to support children living with sight loss.
