Step into a magical Christmas wonderland
The Firefly Festive Forest

This year, we are excited to launch our brand new fundraising initiative, The Firefly Festive Forest.

We will be transforming Sloane Street from 12 November – 1 December into a beautiful forest of spectacular artist-designed Christmas trees. Created by a cohort of celebrated international artists, brands and designers, including Richard Hudson, Charlotte Colbert, Roksanda Illincic, Alison Jackson, Tom Faulkner, Charlotte Tilbury and Patrick Mavros, the forest will offer a magical festive experience for the public to enjoy, with each of the trees available to buy.

Competition with a cause
The World Padel Charity Championships

This one‑day padel tournament brings together community, philanthropy, and sport to celebrate the world’s fastest‑growing game. Guests enjoy an inclusive, high‑energy atmosphere filled with thrilling matches.

Last year’s event took place at the state‑of‑the‑art Rocket Padel club at the iconic Battersea Power Station, providing a striking backdrop for a day of sport, networking, and meaningful impact. Eight teams of eight players competed in a fast‑paced tournament that built to an exhilarating WPCC trophy final, with world‑class padel professionals adding to the excitement. Around 100 spectators enjoyed the action throughout the day, with delicious lunch and drinks provided for all attendees. Last year, we raised over £40,000 to support our charitable initiatives.
