Emeralds & Ivy Ball 2022
Last year, guests were invited to board the Emeralds & Ivy Orient Express, for a spectacular evening paying homage to the train that forever changed luxury travel 140 years ago. Guests enjoyed creativity, showmanship and entertainment from start to finish, including performances from Tom Chaplin and Ronan Keating. They journeyed along the route which has inspired murder mystery novels, movies and the dreams of wanderlust all over the world, with Iconic destinations of London, Paris, Venice and Istanbul, brought to life by refined cuisine and immersive entertainment.
With the incredible £950,000 raised at last year’s Ball, our Cancer Awareness Roadshow can continue to spread this important message right across the country, ensuring inclusive access to free, lifesaving cancer information, and support to all. More than 854,948 people have visited our roadshow since it began in 2006, and last year, 9,503 visitors were signposted to a GP or other services by our roadshow nurses.
Support for you
Marie Keating Foundation
Following their mother Marie's death from breast cancer in 1998, the Keating family promised to try to provide all women and their families with vital information which could help them to prevent cancer or detect it at its earliest stages.
Their collective aim is "making cancer less frightening by enlightening".
Cancer Research Awareness Roadshow
The Cancer Awareness Roadshow is on the road to beating cancer in the area's where we're most needed.
The roadshow is made up of four teams of nurses who travel to the most deprived areas of the UK, speaking to the public about ways to reduce their risk of cancer. Since 2006, we've been able to explain the importance of early diagnosis and healthy lifestyle changed to more than 500,000 people through our Roadshow Units.
