On Saturday 5th October 2013 a group of ladies from Sidhil attended the Ladies Charity dinner at Bertie's Banqueting rooms in Elland Halifax.
Great fun for a great cause!
Forget
me not are
a charity that supports children with life limiting conditions and their
families in the West Yorkshire area. Their focus is to do everything they can
to make children happier and more fulfilled while they are with us, however
long or short that may be and to give support to their families.
To
ensure these children get the best support possible Forget me not need to
raise £2.5 million each year and with only 4% coming from Government
funding they need to look to people like us to help them.
How
do our donations help?
£10
will give a
complementary therapy session for mum or dad
£20 will give medical supplies
for a day
£30 will give a family day trip
with a carer
£50 will cover the running costs
of the hydrotherapy pool for a day
£100 will give day care for a
child at Russell House
£450 will give 10 Hospice at
Home care visits, caring for a child in their own home

We
were welcomed into the venue with fizzy rose, which went down a treat. Everyone
who we met from other selected companies were looking fabulous and there was
plenty of posing at the photo shoot.
We
were treated to a 3 course meal which was delicious along with the wine (and
lots of it! ). Shortly after our meal we were presented with a short
documentary showing just what a wonderful job the charity does daily. All for
an amazing cause. We were touched and a few tears were shed.
Forget
me not had
not only provided us with lovely food and wine , the atmosphere was great as
well.
We
contributed towards games, auction and raffles! Vicki won a bottle of Vodka,
Jenny won Golf memorabilia in the Auction (a gift
for her Dad) and some of the other ladies won spa products!
The
night ended with us all having a boogie on the dance floor and yet more
wine!
The
dinner was a huge success and the charity raised over £12k on the
night!
Here
are just a few photos, which were taken throughout the night.... We do scrub
up well!!
