25th Party raises £1,800!

posted: 21/07/2010

A huge thank you to all our supporters who joined us for a fantastic party to celebrate our 25th anniversary on Saturday 17th July at the Midland Hotel. 

Through some generous raffle ticket buying and some unique auction prizes we were able to raise a fantastic £1,800 on the night.  

The entertainment was provided in style by a wide variety of entertainers: Jean Forrester, Kate McCabe, James Kelly and Side by Side.  All of our wonderful entertainers provided their time for free to support the event, so a huge thank you to them.

The evening was also compered by the fabulous Jonathan Mayor who did a fantastic job to steer us through the evenings proceeds, looking very dashing in his kilt.

We were also honoured by the presence of the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Manchester, and also 2 of the founding members of George House Trust who both gave wonderful and inspiring speeches reflecting on the early days of the organisation.
