WOW… £2,948 raised!!!

What an incredible result and it is all thanks to YOU.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made the night such a success. The support, laughter and generosity in the room were amazing.

To our brilliant volunteers, we could not have done it without your hard work behind the scenes.

And a massive shoutout to the fantastic businesses and individuals who donated such wonderful raffle and auction prizes. Your generosity helped us smash our target.

We are beyond grateful. What a community! 🙌
