Annual events

Friends of ANCHOR is proud to present a varied calendar of events for every season.

This past year, due to the pandemic, we are among the many charities that faced a year with no fundraising events, as the majority were rightfully postponed or cancelled.

When the green light is given to safely proceed with events once more, we will be waiting in the wings to relaunch a calendar packed with events, from our professionally-choreographed catwalk shows, annual golf tournament and black tie dinner, to our biennial masked ball.

What your support means

to the ANCHOR Unit

"I have seen massive advances in technology in the 35 years I have worked at ARI, and I have also seen patient pathways improve greatly. The difference made by Friends of ANCHOR has been phenomenal. Not only does the charity provide investment into research and clinical support with the purchase of equipment, but the emotional and wellbeing support for patients is second to none.

What has always impressed me about Friends of ANCHOR is that every penny goes towards the key areas funded by the charity, for the direct benefit of patients. To have 100% of your donation realised in that way is quite unique."
