On Saturday 25 November 23, VINCI Building’s North West team teamed up with MedEquip4Kids in holding a major ‘Shimmer Ball’ to raise key funds to acquire vital equipment to improve children’s health.
The glamorous event was held at Manchester’s five-star Lowry Hotel and brought together 150 guests from IHP / VINCI Building alongside key supply chain partners, in an amazing evening which raised over £47,000.
Amongst the guests were representatives from The Countess of Chester NHS Foundation Trust, East Cheshire NHS Foundation Trust and Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation, all of whom are set to benefit from funds raised through the event.
As Vincent Boodeea, IHP / VINCI Building’s North West Pre-Construction Manager and Event Organiser said “the evening has been a resounding success. It’s raised a huge amount of money for our key NHS Trust clients which can now be used to purchase equipment which our clients would not have been able to acquire. This would not have been possible without the support of our most valued supply chain partners. Thank you to everybody who contributed in helping to raise this substantial amount”.
IHP / VINCI Building’s team has supported local charity MedEquip4Kids for over 15 years. Since becoming involved, a massive £477,285 has been raised for the charity for key medical equipment for children across North West hospitals.
MedEquip4Kids Chief Executive Ghazala Baig also said: “I’d like to thank VINCI Building, their partners and individuals who attended the Shimmer Ball on Saturday. We are proud of their achievements in support of key Trusts across Lancashire and Cheshire”
