The Time Ball charity event held at the Europa Hotel in Belfast was a stunning affair, with over 360 guests in attendance to support the work of Marie Curie in Northern Ireland. Hosted by former UTV presenter Pamela Ballantine, the event raised over £100,000 to provide care and support to those in need.
Among the guests were Olympic swimmer and Strictly Come Dancing star, Tom Dean, and artist Ben Mosley, whose live painting of Belfast fetched an impressive £12,000 at auction. The funds raised will help Marie Curie continue their important work, which goes beyond just supporting those with cancer to also caring for individuals with dementia, heart disease, motor neurone disease, Parkinson’s, and other terminal illnesses.
Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end-of-life charity, and every penny raised at the Time Ball will go towards providing vital services to those in need, especially during the holiday season. The event, held every two years, not only serves as a fundraising opportunity but also as a chance for the community to come together and show their support for a worthy cause.
If you missed out on the event but still want to support Marie Curie, you can visit the charity’s Facebook page or reach out to their office in Northern Ireland. Your donation, big or small, can make a real difference in the lives of those facing terminal illnesses and their families.
The success of the Time Ball charity event is a testament to the generosity and compassion of the community in Northern Ireland. It is heartwarming to see so many people coming together to support a cause that is so important and impactful. Let’s continue to rally behind organizations like Marie Curie and make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
