María Bravo’s Global Gift Gala held its twelfth London edition at the Kimpton Fitzroy London in Bloomsbury on Saturday 1 November 2025. Emilia Clarke and her mother, Jenny Clarke, served as honorary chairs.
Bravo founded the Global Gift Foundation to help children, women and families in need. Its main project is Casa Ángeles, a day centre in Marbella for children with special needs. The foundation also backs a soup kitchen in Estepona and Harmony House, which rescues homeless children in Gurgaon in India.
The gala is how the foundation raises its money, and Marbella holds its own edition. Each London gala adds a partner charity for the year and shares its evening with that cause.
In 2025 that cause was SameYou, the brain injury recovery charity. Emilia Clarke suffered two brain haemorrhages in the early seasons of filming Game of Thrones.
The black-tie evening went ahead through heavy rain, with cocktails on the red carpet, then dinner, performances and a live auction. The Global Gift Women Empowerment Award went to Miriam Duffy, Director of the National Rehabilitation Centre.
Nick Ede hosted with Scarlette Douglas, and the actor Amaury Nolasco was the evening’s special guest.
