We're so proud to have been a sponsor for the recent Golddigger Trust fundraising dinner and auction. The event has raised over £26,000 for youth mental health.
The glamorous dinner and auction event on Friday 10th May, attended by 170 guests, helped the charity raise a total of £26,692. This far surpassed their target of raising £20,000.
The highlight of the evening was listening to the moving words of one of the young people who has benefited from Golddigger Trust's help, Katie, who courageously shared her story with the audience.
