On 16th November, 140 people attended the country music themed ball for Principle Trust Children’s Charity.
Principle Trust Children’s Charity organised the event to raise money for their cause of providing respite breaks to children who are underprivileged, disadvantaged, disabled, have life-limiting conditions, or who have experienced poverty, trauma or abuse.
The event took place at The Coniston Hotel and Spa where guests enjoyed drinks, dinner and live entertainment from leading Shania Twain tribute act.
The tribute act was followed by a DJ Set from Your Skipton’s, Nick Babb.
Ilkley businessman David Waterhouse hosted the event, which included a fundraising auction, whilst Leeds agency 21 Degrees Digital donated their services by capturing the occasion on video.
The ball was supported by businesses across Craven, Wharfedale and The Aire Valley.
The sum total raised will enable more than 30 families to benefit from a free week-long respite break.
Launched in 2011, The Principle Trust Children’s Charity was established by businessman Mike Davies, MBE.
Mr. Davies said,
"Our annual ball is a key event in our fundraising calendar and we are indebted to everyone who attended for their generous support on the night."
The Trust has provided respite breaks for more than 5000 children across the Yorkshire region.
