Sir Gareth Southgate's donation of a private 90-minute coaching session helped raise more than £280,000 for Martin House Children's Hospice at its annual Glitter Ball at Rudding Park Hotel in Harrogate.

Hundreds of guests attended the event, which was hosted by broadcasters Christine Talbot and Duncan Wood. The evening featured entertainment, fundraising, and live and online auctions. Other auction items included a limited-edition Omega Seamaster Diver 300M watch, a tour of the Oracle Red Bull Racing factory, an Emmerdale experience with actor Jeff Hordley, and a seven-night stay in St Ives.

Southgate, described as a long-time ambassador for Martin House, donated the coaching session for a junior football team of up to 20 players. Robyn Mountain Wade, director of income generation at Martin House, said: 'To raise over £280,000 in one evening is an extraordinary achievement, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported the event and helped make the night possible.'
