Heart Ball 2018

Community members, supporters, and local businesses came together on Saturday 24th February to celebrate the work of our charity.  The Cardiac Rehab Heart Ball fundraiser held at the Alton House Hotel raised in excess in of £4,000 for the charity. This years event saw guests greeted with a glass of bubbly and a string quartet of local orchestra musicians. There was entertainment aplenty with casino style tables for those interested in a flutter,  a table magician keeping everyone guessing and a fantastic caricaturist offering portraits for those wanting to see themselves in another light! The raffle was overflowing with goodies, the three course meal served by Alton House Hotel was exceptional and the silent and live auctions bought out everyone’s competitive spirit!

Kings Pond Shanty Men performed a melodic set of tunes free of charge for the charity to lead harmoniously into the disco dancing stage, hosted by the lovey Claire and Tony of AAC Disco, who also gave their services to the event free of charge.
Fundraising Officer Amanda Denton said feedback from the event was exceptional with everyone enjoying the food and entertainment.  It was a lively evening and a great opportunity to raise awareness of the charity and the important work it does in the community.
We would also like to thank all the local businesses that helped make the raffle/auction on the evening such a success, over half of our guests went home with raffle/auction prizes that had kindly been donated by a number of local businesses who gave generously to help raise funds to reduce the impact of Cardiovascular Disease.
