Beyond
Generosity

Our causes 2026

Two organisations.
One message to every family: you are not alone.

Lithuania · children’s charity

Mamų unija

For more than fifteen years, Mamų unija has looked after children with cancer and their families. Your gift helps pay for children’s rehabilitation, psychological and social support, and the cost of travel to treatment and somewhere to stay nearby. Part of the money also goes to a new Family House in Kaunas, so more parents can stay close to their children during treatment.

“Every donation means far more to us than money. It tells families something very important: you are not alone.”
Justina Mėlinauskaitė, head of Mamų unija

Klaipėda · oncology support

St Francis Oncology Centre

Šv. Pranciškaus onkologijos centras

The Centre gives psychological, social and spiritual support to people with cancer and to the people closest to them, alongside their medical treatment.

raised at the 2025 Charity Ball auction alone

LCCUK charity evenings have brought Lithuanian and British business, culture and community together in London for years, at venues including The Dorchester and The Savoy. In 2025 we revived the tradition with the Rimantas Kaukėnas Charitable Foundation, for children in Lithuania with serious illnesses.

The 2025 auction’s most sought-after lots included a VIP Real Madrid experience (£32,000) and a dinner with President Valdas Adamkus (£24,000). Beyond Generosity builds on that evening, so people who can’t be in the room can be part of it too.

LCCUK Gala
Charity Ball 2026

This year's theme takes guests into a fairy tale, inspired by Alina Orlova's song “Pasaka”. A reminder that real miracles are made by people's kindness.

A black-tie evening for about 150 guests in the Chartwell Ballroom: a champagne reception, a three-course dinner with paired drinks, live music, a silent and a main charity auction, and dancing until late. Everything raised goes to Mamų unija and the St Francis Oncology Centre.
