A Night in Support of Ukraine’s Children: In Memory of Chris O’Connor

Join us for an unforgettable black-tie charity dinner at the historic Armourers’ Hall in London on Friday, 17 October 2025, as we gather to celebrate compassion, courage, and community.

This year’s event is held in memory of the late Chelsea Pensioner Chris O’Connor, whose extraordinary spirit of service lives on. When the war in Ukraine began, Chris refused to stand by. He personally delivered aid and ambulances to Ukraine, dedicating his final years to protecting the lives of children. This evening honours his legacy while raising vital funds for the Western Ukrainian Specialised Children’s Medical Centre in Lviv.
