Well here we are coming to the end of another amazing year in the world of The Lighthouse Centre, and here we are feeling so blessed to have had some amazing people supporting us, so we are able to support others!
We had a very successful cake auction all thanks to the very lovely Christine Newman and the team at The Graduate Recruitment, which raised over £500. It was absolutely fantastic and some wonderful cakes which you didn’t want to eat they looked so good! Also a Thankyou to Mr David Lawerence, auctioneer extroidinareeeee, that man truly could sell sand to the Arabs!! There was no-one getting out of that room without buying something, and that included me!!!! www.thegraduaterecruitment.co.uk
Next came The Last Hurdles Brilliant Big Birthday Bash which raised over £1,000 for an fun packed fab afternoon, with old school games, BBQ and some networking, between being tied to another person’s legs?!?! Which on top of this the very lovely Jules White and her fab team at The Last Hurdle donate their fantastic services to ensure you all can all keep updated on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and Google + with what we are doing, where and when, but more importantly how you can get involved. It was also their 5th Birthday this year so HUGE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEAM TLH! www.thelasthurdle.co.uk
Then came the awesome Strictly Buckingham and Strictly Towcester both of which were absolutely fantastic events again, which raised over £12,500! Absolutely mind blowing amount of money.
