The Hope and Homes for Children Cleveland Support Group is hosting its fifth annual fund raising Ball in aid of Hope and Homes for Children, an international charity working with orphaned and vulnerable children in Central and Eastern Europe and Africa.
The Ball, from 7.00 pm to 1.30 am, will include a drinks reception in the conservatory at 7.00 pm, a four course dinner with coffee and dancing to both Gene Jarred's Swing Band and the Twilight Zone disco. Entertainment will include a fun Casino and a charity auction with donated lots including holiday accommodation in the South of France and in Gozo. The event is always a really good fun night with the opportunity to dress up in your best evening wear, enjoy good company and good food in the sumptuous surroundings of Gisborough Hall whilst at the same time helping fund the work of the Charity. Tickets are £45.00 per person. For anyone wishing to stay overnight at Gisborough Hall there is a special B&B rate of £45.00 per person which may be booked direct with the Hotel on 0870 400 8191.
Hope and Homes for Children was established in 1994 by the then Commander of the British United Nations contingent in the Balkans, Colonel Mark Cook as a direct result of him witnessing the devastating impact of war on the lives of children. Hope and Homes for Children works in twelve countries in Central and Eastern Europe and Africa. In Central and Eastern Europe, where the work has become internationally recognised as a model of good practice, the focus is on closing institutions and moving children into family-based care. In Africa the Charity provides a vital lifeline for orphans and for families at risk of breakdown due to the pressures of poverty, disease and conflict.
