A black tie charity ball hosted by local law firm Sydney Mitchell has raised more than £5,000 for local charities Solihull Carer’s Trust and the Marie Curie Hospice Solihull.
Held on the 10 October at the National Conference Centre, Birmingham, the event was “a marvellous evening and a truly enjoyable way to raise funds for two fantastic charities”, according to Sydney Mitchell’s senior partner Karen Moores.
Carers Trust Solihull provides invaluable support for local carers in the community of all ages, empowering them to live fulfilling lives, not defined by their caring role, and ensuring their voices are heard, respected, and valued. The funds raised will contribute towards their continuing support for young carers.
From its Hospice on Marsh Lane, Solihull, Marie Curie helps people with an illness they are likely to die from, and the people close to them, to receive the care and support they need. The generosity of the donations raised will bolster ongoing projects that help families create memories with their loved ones.
“Both charities are unwavering in their commitment to making a significant and lasting difference to the lives of those who need their support,” Karen says. We are immensely grateful to all of those who generously donated raffle prizes, suppliers of the event and those who attended on the night, for their kindness and generosity.”
Vice President of the Magic Circle and host for the evening, Michael J Fitch, captivated the dinner’s guests with his breathtaking magic skills. Birmingham band The House of Chords and Blackjack Fun Casino Hire provided lively entertainment until the early hours, whilst photographer Bruce Foster captured the evening.&
