Skipton children’s charity collaborates with luxury makeup brand

The Principle Trust Charlotte Tilbury event at Rudding Park

The Principle Trust Children’s Charity is proud to announce it has raised over £2,500 for vulnerable families with the help of Charlotte Tilbury, enough to provide four respite breaks,

The Skipton-based charity held its sell-out masterclass at Rudding Park, Harrogate, where guests enjoyed an arrival drink before receiving a makeup tutorial from Charlotte Tilbury representatives from John Lewis in Leeds, an indulgent afternoon tea and a goodie bag to take away.

The event, which was sponsored by Jones Myers Family Law Solicitors, was held to raise money for families who are caring for children with complex needs. As a result of Sunday, four families will be able to enjoy a week-long getaway.

Due to popular demand, the event is returning on March 22, where guests can get another opportunity to admire the grounds of Rudding Park while learning expert tips, tricks and beauty secrets from the team.

Mike Davies MBE, Founder of The Principle Trust Children’s Charity, said:

“This event has been a hugely proud moment for the charity. It is important for us to be able to offer families a break from the daily challenges they face, where possible, and it was such a special day thanks to those at Charlotte Tilbury and Jones Myers Family Law Solicitors. Due to it selling out, we are delighted to be hosting a second event of this kind later this month!”

Since its launch in 2011 by founder Mike Davies MBE, The Principle Trust Children’s Charity has provided respite breaks for almost 6,000 children through its homes in Blackpool, Filey and the Lake District. The charity now owns seven respite homes, enabling it to support approximately 308 vulnerable children and families each year with life-changing breaks away from daily challenges.
