The Glitter Ball event, sponsored by HARIBO, is the biggest single fundraising event of the year for Martin House, helping the hospice to provide vital care and support to families across Yorkshire.

This year, the money raised will help the hospice to complete ‘THE BUILD’ - Martin House’s £21.9m plan to refurbish and extend the facilities.

The project is set to be complete by winter 2025, and will enable Martin House to continue to support children, young people and their families for many years to come. These plans have been created in collaboration with the families using the hospice, including the children themselves, to ensure their needs are front and centre of the project.

Donated by Rudding Park, the exclusive package includes; a two-night stay in a two-bedroom luxury lodge, dinner at the renowned FIFTY TWO restaurant, a BBQ dinner at the lodge, breakfast, golf on the Hawtree Course and Repton Short Course, spa access, and unique experiences like Woodland Bathing and a Rasul.

Jon Hughes, Managing Director at HARIBO UK and Ireland, said:
We’re delighted to be headline sponsor of the Glitter Ball again this year, with one lucky person having the chance to win a year’s supply of HARIBO. 2024 has been an incredible year for Martin House with the launch of its most ambitious fundraising campaign – THE BUILD – along with a host of fantastic events and initiatives throughout the year.

As one of Yorkshire’s largest manufacturers and employers, we have been a proud partner of Martin House for over 15 years with a common purpose of creating childlike happiness and memorable moments for children and families. Events like these ensure that the hospice can continue to provide support to children and young people with life-limiting illnesses across Yorkshire.”
