The sponsors for an NHS Trust's annual gala dinner have been announced.

Altera Digital Health has been announced for Dudley Group NHS Charity's annual Glitter Ball event, which is returning for its fourth year.

The flagship gala dinner serves as a networking opportunity for community businesses, while also raising money for charity.

The event, which will be held on Thursday November 14 at the Copthorne Hotel in Brierley Hill, Dudley, will feature welcome drinks, a two-course meal, and entertainment.

This year, the ball will raise funds for the charity’s dementia appeal, which aids patients living with dementia at home or in the Forget-me-not Unit at Russells Hall Hospital.

Rachael Fox, executive VP for UK & EMEA at Altera, said: "We’re delighted to support the Dudley Group NHS Charity and their dementia charity appeal, by sponsoring the Glitter Ball this November.

"We’ve worked in partnership with the Trust for many years, helping drive their digital transformation with the Sunrise Electronic Patient Record system.

"Our team look forward to joining the Dudley Group NHS Charity, local businesses, and guests at the event, and support the fundraising efforts for such an important cause."

The evening will also feature speeches from members of the Trust, who will share their experiences of dementia and how charities have helped improve patient care.

Mitie has been named the gold sponsor for the event, Summit Healthcare is the silver sponsor, and How To Find A Care Home and Dudley College of Technology are the bronze sponsors.

Other community businesses, including Waldron Solicitors, West Bromwich Building Society, and Thomas Dudley, will also be attending the event.

The charity is currently looking for more businesses to support the event through table packages.
