What a night, and what a journey this is turning into.

To everyone who came - friends, colleagues, clients, candidates, volunteers, family, and even those who found the event online - thank you. You brought such warmth and energy and made the night so special.

A huge thank you to Carlo Carello and the amazing team at Gallery for hosting us so beautifully and for donating part of the bar spend to the cause. We’re already dreaming up next year’s event: bigger, better, and full of auctions, surprises, and even more impact.

So, what’s next?

I’ll be jumping out of a plane for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

Why this means so much

For almost four years, I’ve spent every Saturday volunteering at The Royal Marsden in Chelsea, helping across different wards. These days I’m on Wilson Ward, supporting patients after major surgery, mostly for throat cancer.

I help with the basics - eating, drinking, walking - the things that become massive after treatment. It’s raw, emotional, and full of moments that stay with you.

The Marsden isn’t just a hospital. It’s a place of innovation, care, and quiet strength. I’ve seen first-hand how deeply it matters and I want to give something back.

A little love for the volunteer crew

I’m about to start a new volunteer role there, which I’m genuinely excited about. And I want to say a proper thank you to Careece and Genesis, who still volunteer almost every Saturday alongside full-time jobs and Masters degrees. You’re both brilliant.

No, Bungee the bunny and Monty the pup won’t be skydiving. They wanted to, but the centre has a strict no-pets policy.

If anyone’s driving to Kent in September, my bestie Isabella Egerton and I are still looking for a lift.

More photos from the night are coming soon. If you’d still like to get involved, support, or just follow along, thank you. It truly means a lot.

This whole journey has grown in ways I didn’t expect, and we’re only just getting started.
