In November 2025, the fantastic minds of Abi Howell, Sallyann Rolfe and Danielle Cole combined to curate ‘The Gingerbread Gala! This enticing evening was full of fun, fantastic food, delightful drinks, games, and excellent entertainment, bringing together a wonderful community of supporters passionate about making cancer care more accessible.
Throughout the night, Hope for Tomorrow Ambassador Mark Atkinson kept guests well-engaged and entertained. A stunning silent auction took place, organised by the wonderful Edward Barber and the tremendous team at Go Fundraising, with wonderful prizes auctioned for a great cause, adding to the excitement in an already buzzing room!
A huge thank you to all who attended and those who were involved behind the scenes, including the evening’s generous sponsors: Paul Hooper, Gloucestershire Independent Network, Brace Creative Agency, Blue Sky Designs Ltd, and Vanessa Campagnaro of Frankie and Felix!
The Gingerbread Gala raised over £18,000 for Hope for Tomorrow, supporting the charity’s vital work in bringing mobile cancer care to patients. The funds raised made an essential and significant contribution to our Big Give Christmas Challenge target, making the evening’s impact go even further. This incredible generosity means more cancer patients can receive their treatment closer to their home, work, or families in their local community, making a difficult time just a little bit easier. Thank you for your support.
What is The Big Give Christmas Challenge?
The Big Give Christmas Challenge is the UK’s largest match-funding campaign, taking place each December. For Hope for Tomorrow, it’s an incredibly important time of the year. During this week-long campaign, every donation made to Hope for Tomorrow through the Big Give platform could be doubled by match-funders.
This match-funding allows us to maximise the impact of our supporters’ generosity. The Gingerbread Gala’s contribution to our Big Give Christmas Challenge campaign meant that the wonderful efforts of everyone involved that evening had double the impact, helping us bring life-changing mobile cancer care to even more patients.
