About the FAIR

The FAIR welcomes anyone involved in Fine Art Insurance: brokers; underwriters; all those involved in the claims process; loss adjusters; lawyers; restorers; conservators; surveyors; risk managers; valuers; shippers and packers; fine art agents and consultants.

The evening is a forum for friends and colleagues to meet, socialise, introduce contacts and talk to the people they might not otherwise meet in their day to day work. The event has been running for nearly 30 years in various guises, and has grown from a small dinner of 6 people to an industry ‘must attend’ event of almost 300 like-minded people. 

During the evening we hold a charity raffle, with generous donations of some incredible prizes – please see the charity page for details of our chosen charities this year and the raffle prizes we have so far.  The FAIR is proud to have donated many thousands of pounds to worthy causes over the years.

Tickets are limited so please book yours as soon as possible! Tickets are £50 per person, which includes wine and canapés (cash bar also available).

About

The Charities

This year, The FAIR is proud to be supporting Little Roo Neonatal Fund and Pets as Therapy. The Committee is pleased to be donating all proceeds from the event.

Little Roo Neonatal Fund

In the past twenty years the care of babies born very early, or with unexpected problems, has improved immensely, with great improvements in survival and outlook. This work is increasingly specialised and requires dedicated teams of highly trained nurses and doctors, available at all times. In Surrey the only hospital with the appropriate staff, equipment, skills and experience to provide this highest level of intensive care for the smallest and sickest newborn babies is St. Peter’s Hospital.

 

In 2005 a new nursery with eight intensive care cots was opened by HRH The Countess of Wessex. The costs of the building work and extra staff were met by the NHS, but to provide the specialised equipment we needed charitable funds.

The Little Roo Neonatal Fund was set up by a team of doctors, nurses, parents and support staff and is part of the Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals Charitable Trust (Reg Charity 1058567) with the specific aim of supporting the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

 

Each Neonatal Intensive care cot costs in the region of £80,000 to fully equip, and we also have been able to purchase an ultrasound machine (£60k), equipment to help babies breathe (£4k to £20k each), a breast milk pasteurizer (£19k) and devices for treating and monitoring potential brain injury (£20k).  There is always an ongoing need for additional and replacement specialist equipment, and also to send staff for specialist training that the NHS cannot provide funding for.

 

The Little Roo Neonatal Fund raises money to provide the support that the St. Peter’s Neonatal Unit continues to require to offer the highest standards of intensive care for babies born in Surrey and further afield.

Pets As Therapy

Pets As Therapy (PAT) is a national charity that enhances the health and wellbeing of thousands of people in communities across the UK. We strive to ensure that everyone, no matter their circumstances, has access to the companionship of an animal. 

Our volunteers and their temperament-assessed pets visit establishments such as care homes, hospitals, hospices, schools and prisons, and bring smiles to many faces. People of all ages get the chance to chat to someone — and stroke a friendly dog or cat. 

To view more about Pets as Therapy, please visit https://petsastherapy.org/.
