Dorset businesses invited to join award-winning MYTIME Young Carers for a night of networking, celebration and fundraising

Dorset businesses are invited to join an evening of Regency glamour, networking and fundraising as MYTIME Young Carers hosts its 2026 Masquerade Ball at Hilton Bournemouth on Friday 13 November.

The event comes at an exciting time for the Dorset charity, which was recently named Charity of the Year at the Great British Business Awards 2026 for its work supporting young carers across Dorset.

Now, MYTIME invites businesses and organisations from across the region to join its growing corporate community for an evening that combines hospitality and networking with the chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young carers.

The MYTIME Masquerade Ball, which begins at 6.30pm, will bring together businesses, supporters, partners and guests for an evening inspired by Regency glamour, with a red-carpet arrival, welcome drinks, a three-course dinner, live musical entertainment, dancing and both live and silent auctions. 

Unique Group Southern Ltd is the headline sponsor of this year's event, continuing its support for MYTIME and its work with young carers. The event is also supported by Lashings World and Zenzero.

A night for the Dorset business community

While the Masquerade Ball is a major fundraising event for MYTIME, it also provides an opportunity for local businesses to come together, build relationships and celebrate the role that the business community can play in creating opportunities for young people.

Businesses can attend individually or book a table of ten, making the evening suitable for entertaining clients, bringing together colleagues or joining with business contacts for a different kind of networking event.

For companies looking to strengthen their local community engagement, the evening also provides a chance to see first-hand the difference that corporate support can make.

MYTIME works with young carers across Dorset and beyond, helping young people who provide care for family members to access support, opportunities, experiences and pathways that can help them build brighter futures.

The charity's growing relationship with the Dorset business community has become an important part of that work – from fundraising and sponsorship to volunteering, partnerships and creating opportunities for young carers.

The MYTIME Masquerade Ball takes place on Friday 13 November 2026 at Hilton Bournemouth, with guests arriving from 6.30pm.

Masks are required and guests are encouraged to embrace the Regency theme and dress for an evening of glamour, entertainment and fundraising. 

Tickets are available for individuals or tables of ten, while sponsorship opportunities are also available for businesses wanting to make a greater contribution to the event.
