What an incredible night!
2025 Trauma Research UK Charity Ball

The Trauma Research UK Charity Ball 2025 – TRUK’s Got Talent was a huge success, raising nearly £30,000, an amazing achievement!
From Wayne Devlin’s smooth crooning during the VIP reception to the fantastic John Lennon tribute bringing back some timeless classics, the entertainment had something for everyone.

Pop royalty Lee Brennan had guests on their feet, while BGT ventriloquist finalist Steve Hewlett had everyone in stitches, including a special guest appearance from Paul Chuckle. Another BGT finalist, the outstanding Steven Hall, caught everyone out with his incredible talent.
A very special highlight this year was the exquisite Hope Tree, featuring gifts and prizes ranging from toiletries to a £1,000 diamond ring, a complete hit! The atmosphere, food, décor and company were all fabulous, with celebrities, guests and supporters enjoying every moment of a truly unforgettable evening.
