In association with Sue le Bonne, the hairdressers Terence Ball held a Black Tie and Diamonds Ball in aid of The Kirsty Appeal for Francis House.
Francis House is a loving home from home where the corridors are
filled with laughter, the rooms flooded with light. It was opened in
1991 by
Diana, Princess of Wales and currently, it is helping over 150 families
from the North West region. It's tough but they haven't turned away
a single child since they opened in 1991.
Francis House receives less than 4% government funding, so all the running
and caring costs are by voluntary donation only. £5 million is
needed to ensure the long-term viability of the hospice and the consequences
of that figure not being raised aren't worth thinking about.
Bellagio Time were pleased to donate a Bellagio 2.1ct Diamond Lady’s Timepiece to the evening’s auction, which raised £3,000.
