After our last few St Andrew's Balls in London in 2014 and 2016, we are thrilled to be moving our venue to Scotland for our 2017 ball, this time in the rather spectacular National Museum of Scotland, in Edinburgh. This year we have teamed up with another wonderful charity, the Teapot Trust, which provides art therapy in hospitals and other medical settings across the UK as a way of helping young people cope with long term medical conditions. Proceeds from the event will be split evenly between the two charities and we are delighted to be partnering with such an important charity. 

Dancing will again be to the wonderful Super Grouse band who have promised to help people unsure of the reels on the night.

Upcoming Events

Please Contact Us if you want to organise something in Jo's memory and need any help. If you are considering an individual event like running a marathon, or sitting in a bath of beans for a day, you can register with MyDonate to collect your sponsorship online. The Jo Walters Trust has registered with MyDonate, because they do not charge commission so every penny that you raise from your efforts supports one of our projects.

BT MyDonate can be a little clunky to use though, and is less well known, so if you'd prefer to use JustGiving to do your fundraising, this is possible too. Just let us know that you'd like to do so and we'll activate the Jo Walters Trust page for you to use. JustGiving charge charities £15 a month to be on their register, so we only activate the Jo Walters Trust page when someone is actually fundraising.
