Frequently Asked Questions
We work closely with venues to ensure guests have all the information they need. Please get in touch with our friendly team at the Barrie Wells Trust for further queries.
Nomination procedure
A child must be diagnosed with a physical illness or disability that is serious or life limiting. A child must be aged between 8-18 to attend a Box4Kids sports event or 6-18 to attend a Box4Kids entertainment event or Family Jockey Club Day.
Box4Kids is an initiative organised by the Barrie Wells Trust which provides children and a family member with the opportunity to watch sports and entertainment as a VIP from an executive box.
In order to create VIP Box4Kids experiences, we rely on the donation of executive boxes from companies and box holders. We have events across a wide variety of sports including; football, rugby, horseracing and many more, as well as events at entertainment arenas, including pop concerts and shows such as Disney on Ice and WWE.
You will hear from us once we can offer an event – if you do not hear from us that does not mean that you have been unsuccessful.
Please note that we cannot respond to every enquiry and cannot guarantee an event with every application.
Before the event
Your invitation will be sent out approximately 1-2 weeks before the event with all the details you require. In some cases when we are given a box last minute, you may receive your invitation less than a week before the event. We will always ensure you have all the necessary information before the day.
If for any reason you are unable to attend the event, then please contact us at the office as soon as possible on 01524 590600 (office hours are 8:30am – 5pm Monday to Friday). If you are unable to get hold of us at the office then please contact the number provided on your invitation.
On the day
There will be a number of other children attending with their guest, however, exact numbers depend on the size of the executive box and number of tickets donated. There will also be at least one Box4Kids host in attendance to ensure everything runs smoothly. Everyone in the box on the day will be guests of Box4Kids.
*To ensure you are best prepared for your Box4Kids event, we recommend that you also check the venue’s website for up to date information.
