Sensory Ball 2025
Like most charities, SensationALL relies on the donations and financial contributions of funders and supporters in order to achieve our charitable purpose of improving the lives of people with neurodivergent conditions and complex support needs.
The highlight in our fundraising calendar is the annual ball and this year, we have added a sensory theme to not only enhance the guest experience but give guests an insight into how it feels when you are affected by sensory processing issues.
Around 10% of the UK population is estimated to have sensory processing issues. These people can be severely challenged by everyday things that the majority of people take for granted including social interactions, noisy environments, the feel of clothes or the texture of food.
As so many of the children and adults using SensationALL’s services struggle with sensory processing issues, we want to give our guests an insight into what this means by weaving a sensory theme into every possible part of the night. This will be a charity event with a difference as we challenge people’s expectations in a fun (and enjoyable!) way, for example…
The food may be presented in an unusual manner; there could be surprising changes in the room’s lighting; entertainment might start when you least expect it and so on!
All of the evening’s features are designed to encourage guests to think about how difficult life can be when your brain struggles to interpret sights, sounds and textures.
Our host for the evening, Sam Stephen will guide you through the different elements. Watch this clip for a sneak peek at our plans.
The Sensory Ball takes place on Friday 14th March at the Chester Hotel in Aberdeen.
Limited places are still available – £100 per person or £1000 per table of 10
Thanks to our key sponsors The JEllie Foundation, DeepOcean and Oilenco, the event will include an arrival drinks’ reception followed by a decadent yet surprising three-course meal.
The evening’s entertainment has been designed to surprise and delight featuring world-renowned act, The London Essentials with their immersive musical experience, plus dancing until late to local band Starsky.
There will also be an auction and games to raise vital funds for SensationALL’s work across northeast Scotland supporting individuals of ALL ages. Donations of auction items are much appreciated!
