Beresfords raises £14,000 for air ambulance

Beresford fundraising ball image150 people enjoyed a night of fun and raised £14,000 for the Essex and Herts Air Ambulance at Beresfords inaugural charity gala ball.

Sponsored by Lancaster and in partnership with Essex Life, guests were treated to a gala dinner and charity auction hosted by BBC Look East and ‘Inside Out’ TV presenter, David Whitely. Attendees had the chance to bid for a range of high profile prizes, such as a ‘money can’t buy’ guided tour of the Bentley car factory, a Maserati for the weekend, a private chef cooking experience, a fabulous five star holiday in Greece.

To bolster the money raised, a high profile raffle was also conducted for prizes such as leading sports memorabilia, afternoon teas, restaurant vouchers and luxury hampers.

Paul Beresford, Chairman of Beresfords Group, is delighted with the success of their first fundraising ball. He says, “We are so pleased; we’ve been overwhelmed by the region’s kindness in offering such amazing auction and raffle items as well as the generosity of those who attended.”

“Beresfords is committed to supporting its communities and by raising funds for an organisation that is there for us all, and our loved ones, it is the ideal partnership.”
