Charity Summer Ball in aid of NHBCH

 
In September we held our annual Charity Ball and this year our chosen charity was for the very inspirational Wendy Watson who has spearheaded the National Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline, won Tesco Mother of the Year and also successfully published a book about her struggles to raise awareness called 'I'm still standing'.

The event was a complete sell out and we had a fantastic night which included a drinks reception, 4 course meal, silent auction and entertainment from:

  • Female vocalist Melissa Amy Lye currently studying at Sir Paul McCartneys Performing Arts University (LIPA)
  • Swing male vocalist Chris Heathcote
  • Female vocalist Laura Ashby recent winner of Chesterfields 'Search for a Star' - Laura released her debut single on 1st October 2012 to coincide with the 5th anniversary of Help for Heroes charity. All profits from the sale of the CD will be donated to the charity.
  • Headline Band - 'BOYZALOUD' a 4 piece local Take That/Westlife tribute band who have played our events before and never dissapoint the guests
  • Tenacious DJ finished the event into the early hours
The event raised £1200 towards NHBCH for the continued awareness raising that Wendy and her gang of helpers do tirelessly.
