Martin House Children's Hospice raised more than £280,000 at its annual Glitter Ball held at Rudding Park Hotel in Harrogate on Friday, October 16. The event was hosted by broadcasters Christine Talbot and Duncan Wood and included live and online auctions, entertainment, and dancing.
Sir Gareth Southgate, a long-term ambassador for the hospice, attended and donated a 90-minute coaching session for a junior football team as one of the top auction prizes. Other auction items included a limited-edition Omega Seamaster watch, an Emmerdale experience with actor Jeff Hordley, and an Oracle Red Bull Racing factory tour.
Robyn Mountain Wade, director of income generation at Martin House, said: 'We are absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity shown at this year's Glitter Ball. To raise over £280,000 in one evening is an extraordinary achievement.' She added that Southgate's continued support 'means a great deal to everyone at Martin House.' Funds raised will support the hospice's work providing palliative care to children and young people across West, North, and East Yorkshire.
