The Chilterns Neuro Centre, a charity dedicated to supporting individuals affected by MS, Parkinson’s, and strokes, celebrated its 40th anniversary with a grand Ruby Ball on Tuesday, November 18, 2025. Held at Pendley Manor in Tring, the event was attended by approximately 140 guests who gathered to commemorate the crucial work of the Wendover-based organization.
The evening began with a sumptuous three-course dinner, followed by lively performances from local band The Strats, who kept the guests entertained with their music and ensured a packed dance floor. The ball successfully raised an impressive £23,501 through ticket sales, a raffle, and an auction, all of which will go towards supporting the Centre’s ongoing efforts in the community.
The event was made possible through the support of various local organizations and individuals, with Dux Advisory proudly serving as the Platinum Sponsor.
Danielle Medd, Fundraiser Manager at the Chilterns Neuro Centre, expressed her gratitude towards the community for coming together to celebrate the Centre’s achievements. She said, “This was a truly special evening, bringing together members of our community to celebrate everything the Centre has achieved over the past 40 years. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, donated, and supported the ball. A particular thank you goes to Dux Advisory for their generous sponsorship and continued commitment to the work we do.”
Shaun Brownsmith from Dux Advisory also shared his thoughts on the event, saying, “We were delighted to support the Chilterns Neuro Centre for such an important milestone. The Centre plays a vital role in improving the lives of so many local people, and we are proud to help ensure its services continue into the future.”
The Chilterns Neuro Centre extends its heartfelt thanks to all who contributed to the success of the Ruby Ball and looks forward to continuing its mission of helping people in the local community affected by MS, Parkinson’s, and strokes to live life to the fullest.
