Funds will be raised through the annual Arora Ball, taking place in November 2026, where guests and supporters will come together to make a meaningful difference to young lives. From the proceeds raised on the evening, the Foundation will award £250,000 to Rays of Sunshine, enabling the charity to grant 150 magical wishes for seriously and terminally ill children across the UK.

As a charity that receives no government funding, Rays of Sunshine relies on the generosity of partners like the Arora Charitable Foundation to brighten the lives of children facing serious illness and create lasting memories for their families.

Thanks to this partnership, 150 more children will have the chance to experience joy beyond hospital appointments and treatment — creating moments of light during some of their most challenging times.

Amy Chambers, CEO at Rays of Sunshine, says: “We are incredibly proud to have been chosen as a beneficiary of the Arora Ball 2026.

“The Arora Charitable Foundation’s generous support will have a truly transformative impact, enabling us to grant 150 additional wishes for seriously ill children and young people across the UK.

“That means 150 young lives touched by moments of pure joy during some of the most challenging times they will ever face, and continued access to support and connection through our Wish Community Programme, creating lasting memories and ongoing joy for the whole family.

“As a charity that receives no statutory funding, we rely on the generosity of partners like Arora to make this work possible. We are deeply thankful to everyone involved in bringing this partnership to life.”
