Our Let’s Go Charity Ball: A Huge Success!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our Let’s Go Charity Ball was an overwhelming success, raising an incredible £23,763.86 on the night! This fantastic total will cover the running costs of one of our respite homes for an entire year, giving 34 of Yorkshire’s most vulnerable families the chance to escape their daily challenges and create lasting, joyful memories.

This achievement is only possible because of the generosity and support from everyone who attended, donated, and believed in our cause. Your kindness will directly impact the lives of children who are underprivileged, disadvantaged, disabled, or who have life-limiting conditions, as well as those who have experienced poverty, trauma, or abuse.

A Night to Remember

The event itself was nothing short of magical, thanks to the tireless efforts of many individuals and organisations. We are incredibly grateful to the following people and businesses who made the evening truly unforgettable:

  • Madeleine Roberts, who wowed us with her Shania Twain tribute performance—her talent and energy were absolutely amazing!
  • Nick Babb from NJB Entertainments, who kept the dancefloor alive all night long, ensuring everyone had a fantastic time.
  • Our brilliant host, David Waterhouse, who kept everything running smoothly and ensured the evening was filled with laughter and excitement.
  • Nabin at Soul and Co, who beautifully captured the magic of the event with his stunning photography—every smile and special moment was immortalised.
  • Kyle Findley at 21 Degrees Digital, who is working on the videography—we can’t wait to relive the night through your lens!
  • A huge thank you to Impulse Decisions for running our online silent auction, ensuring that even those who couldn’t attend in person could still participate and support our cause.
  • Volunteers Diane and Christine, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly, along with the entire team at The Principle Trust.

Why Your Support Matters

The need for our work has never been more pressing. Child poverty in Yorkshire is at its highest level in over 20 years, with 31% of the region’s children—around 400,000—living in poverty. The situation is even more dire for families with disabled children, who face additional challenges and hardships.

At The Principle Trust, we believe that every child deserves a fair, inclusive, and happy life, regardless of their circumstances. That’s why we are committed to providing respite for families who need a break from the constant stress of caregiving and life’s other challenges. Your support helps us make this possible.

Together, We’re Making a Difference

The funds raised at the Let’s Go Charity Ball are a testament to the power of community, kindness, and generosity. Every pound raised will make a difference in the lives of families who need our help the most. Together, we are creating brighter futures and giving children the opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime.

We want to extend our deepest thanks to everyone who contributed to this incredible achievement. Whether you donated a prize for our auction, attended the event, volunteered your time, or shared our cause with others, your support has made a huge impact.

Thank you for helping us continue our vital work. We can’t wait to see what the future holds, and with your help, we know that we’ll continue making a lasting difference for children and families across Yorkshire.
