Special Events

Be a part of our exclusive and expertly delivered fundraising events, that create lasting change for children.

Raising funds and awareness

Welcome to the pinnacle of charitable giving through events, where purpose meets elegance. Our high-value fundraising events are meticulously crafted to inspire generosity and create lasting impact.

At Save the Children, we're proud of our dynamic and diverse portfolio of special events, that are expertly delivered year-round by our skilled and dedicated events team. We strive to create a wide range of innovative and dynamic events to raise as much money as possible to help children around the world change their futures for good.   

OUR EVENTS

From luxurious galas to exclusive gatherings, each occasion is designed to bring together philanthropists, community leaders and changemakers dedicated to making a difference.

We're privileged to benefit from prestigious events hosted by our corporate partners, which include the IFR Awards and the committee-led International Arbitration Charity Ball, both flagship events in the financial and legal calendar.  

Over the years our events have included our Winter Gala, which raised a total of £6.6 million over seven years and invited guests to step into the magic of a beloved children’s story, and our ‘Night of…’ series that paid tribute to some of the world’s most iconic music and musicians and raised £10 million over six years.

Arb Ball in the Uk

In 2024, we held a truly special International Women’s Day Celebration at the Bluebird, London in the presence of our Patron HRH, Princess Royal, and saw supporters come together to celebrate inspiring women who have championed the charity’s work over the years.

We saw the return of our Autumn in the City Gala at The Savoy Hotel which raised over £300,000. We were also delighted to be selected as one of the two beneficiaries of the sixth Arora Ball, which brought to life a vibrant carnival fiesta in the Intercontinental London, The O2.
