On Wednesday, 11th February 2026, 111 Harley St. proudly hosted “Transforming Lives, Transforming Futures,” an exclusive charity fundraising dinner at the prestigious Bardo in St. James’s. The event marked a significant milestone in our Beautiful Impact initiative – our commitment to extending the principles of transformation and care beyond our clinic walls to create meaningful change in the world.
Extending Beautiful Impact
Beautiful Impact represents our belief that true beauty transcends aesthetics. While our daily work helps individuals feel confident and comfortable in their own skin, we recognise that real impact comes from using our success, platform, and resources to support those who need transformation in its most fundamental form. This is why we’ve partnered with UNICEF UK, an organisation that has spent over seventy years protecting children’s rights and creating opportunities for the world’s most vulnerable young people.
The “Transforming Lives, Transforming Futures” theme captured the essence of this partnership perfectly. It acknowledges transformation at two profound levels: the individual and the collective.
Individual and Collective Transformation
“Transforming Lives” speaks to the immediate, tangible impact of UNICEF’s work: the malnourished infant who receives life-saving nutrition and becomes a thriving child; the girl denied education who emerges as a confident student with limitless possibilities; the community without clean water that becomes a village where children no longer suffer from preventable diseases. These aren’t merely improvements; they’re fundamental shifts that alter entire life trajectories.
“Transforming Futures” elevates this impact to something even more significant. When we transform one child’s life, we begin transforming their family’s future, their community’s prospects, and ultimately our shared world. We break cycles of poverty, create the next generation of leaders and innovators, and build a future where potential is limited only by imagination, not by circumstance.
The evening brought together the philanthropic community, all united by a common purpose. Through a carefully curated auction of extraordinary experiences, live entertainment, and direct giving opportunities, our guests demonstrated remarkable generosity. The atmosphere was electric, combining the elegance and sophistication of Bardo with the genuine warmth that comes from people giving with open hearts.
Memorable Experience
Our Managing Director, Agata Podwika, and her team orchestrated every detail to perfection, creating an experience that honoured both our guests’ expectations and the profound importance of UNICEF’s mission. From the moment guests arrived for a Champagne reception and auction preview, through the exquisite dinner service, to the moments of bidding and pledging, the evening flowed seamlessly while maintaining focus on its true purpose… creating transformative impact for children worldwide.
The funds raised will directly support UNICEF’s programs in healthcare, education, nutrition, and child protection. Every pound donated represents a life changed, a future created, a child given the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Unique Transformation
At 111 Harley St., we understand transformation from a unique perspective. We see daily how meaningful change – whether physical, emotional, or psychological – can profoundly affect someone’s life. Through Beautiful Impact and our partnership with UNICEF, we’re extending that understanding to its most essential expression: ensuring every child has access to the basic resources and opportunities they need to transform their own lives and futures.
This event was more than a fundraiser. It was a demonstration that when compassion meets action, when success meets purpose, and when individuals come together with shared values, we truly can transform lives and futures.
