Introducing the Brave 2026 line-up!

Read on for details on applications and securing a table for next year's shows

It's nearly show-time...

The Brave 2026 line-up has been revealed and in just a few months time, they'll be making their catwalk debut. Each model taking part has been diagnosed with cancer or a blood disorder at some point in their life - whether they are still currently going through treatment or they have received the all-clear. 

The group of men, aged between 19 and 82, are travelling from all over Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire to attend weekly rehearsals, led by our event partner Premiere Productions UK. Here, they will be 'catwalk trained' and later they will be styled and dressed in some of Aberdeen's most-loved retailers. 

If you'd like to cheer them on, we still have tickets remaining for our Thursday show! Or, if you'd like to sponsor a prize, find these details below.

Every penny counts

All admin costs are fully funded by Balmoral Group

We are in the unique position that every penny of your pounds raised goes directly to the cause. No costs deducted for the fundraising team salaries. Nor for any administration costs. Neither is there a percentage taken from your donation for the running costs involved in operating the fundraising office.

Since the charity was founded in 1997, every penny of these running and administration costs have been fully covered by Balmoral Group. With all these expenses taken care of, your money is freed up to make a direct difference in the lives of  cancer and haematology patients throughout the North-east of Scotland.
