An amazing total amount of £1221.40 was raised, which was all due to the success of ticket sales and a raffle of which prizes were kindly donated by local businesses, organizations and individuals.

After the buffet had finished, many got up to showcase their dance moves to a medley of classic and Indian music. It was truly a great night to raise money for great causes.
