On Wednesday 13th October, the October Club held its annual fundraising dinner for City-based individuals at The Savoy Hotel in London.

Each year The October Club committee chooses a charity for which funds raised will prove transformational. This year, Red Balloon of the Air was selected as the beneficiary charity. The evening was a huge success, raising more than £400,000 through sponsorship, the donation of prizes for auction, advertising, attending the event or giving generously.

We are extremely grateful to members of the October Club, who through their generosity will enable us to transform the way we deliver our educational and therapeutic programmes through the creation of a ‘virtual’ Red Balloon.
