Our fabulous Ball of Hearts 2013 took place under Concorde, and yes I do mean literally under Concorde. WOW is the right word to use for when people walked into the room – it definitely had the WOW factor.
We even had the Queen stop by to greet our guests, letting our guests take pics with her as she greeted them and mingled. To all our surprise she got the dancing started by dancing gangnam style, who ever would have thought our Queen was so modern and would dance to that! It certainly entertained us and for doing that dance I ran round the room doing a very fast collection and that raised £140 alone. Thank you aunty Lydia you stole the show and made it both extra special and most memorable.
We enjoyed a 3 course dinner with wine, raffle, auction, casino and dancing. What another successful and most enjoyable night with 260 guests. We even got into Cheshire Life’s January edition. Our thanks to everyone who attended and all those who help at our Ball, much appreciated.
2014 will be at the Crowne Plaza Liverpool on Sat 15th November. It will be a winter wonderland theme and will be just as amazing. More details to follow – it won’t disappoint
so be sure to be there. If you know of anyone who can donate a prize for our raffle, tombola or auction please get in touch.

Hi everyone,
We have some plans to celebrate in a BIG way in 2014. Not all details are finalised yet but put these dates in your diary, and some events still to be arranged – so we hope there will be something that suits your family.
Check who is organising each event as some events are coordinated by the hospital teams. Many of the events are to be confirmed so keep your eye on our website (heartchild.info/events) and Facebook page (heartchild.info/facebook), get in touch with your local branch, call our helpline or email us for more details.
Free events are those where we only pay for those who arrive on the day. For events where we pay in advance you will be required to pay before the event so we are not left out of pocket.
Please bring your unwanted gifts for use as prizes.

We didn’t have a great turn-out on the night however everyone that came really enjoyed themselves. It was great to see some new faces with our new members joining in and meeting others. It was fun to see one of our volunteers, Pearl, who does not normally gamble really enter into the spirit. She decided there would be no stopping her so she claimed the whole of the bottom of the table and set in to stay the night! There were some risk takers with one member winning the most amount of chips on the night deciding to bet it all on number four. On the very last spin it came up, winning them a bottle of Champagne.
Hope to see you all at our Dinner Dance in May.

On the 14th February lots of our members met up at Frankie and Benny’s in Liverpool for tea. The afternoon did not quite go to plan as we received a call from the restaurant about 2 hours before to say the booking had to be cancelled! It all managed to be sorted out and our 34 parents and children sat down to a nice meal and great chat together.
