OCU Foundation hosts third annual Charity Ball, raising £75,000

At OCU, we recognise the importance of giving back to the communities in which we work. Established in 2023 as the Group’s registered charity, the OCU Foundation supports a range of charitable causes and community initiatives.
Building on the success of our previous fundraising events, we recently hosted our third annual OCU Foundation Charity Ball at Manchester’s Kimpton Clocktower Hotel. The event brought together more than 370 colleagues, clients, partners and suppliers for an evening of fundraising, celebration and entertainment, raising an incredible £75,000 for the Foundation.
Supporting our national charity partner, Alzheimer’s Society
Since April 2026, Alzheimer’s Society has been OCU’s national charity partner. Throughout the evening, guests heard from a representative of the charity, who shared insights into its work and the difference it makes to people and families affected by dementia across the UK.
Bringing people together to make a difference
The annual Charity Ball forms part of the OCU Foundation’s wider commitment to supporting charitable causes and communities through fundraising and volunteering activities.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended and donated, the organisations who supported the event, and the OCU Foundation team for delivering another fantastic evening.
