It was a night of sparkle, style and generosity as Fine & Country agents, partners and guests came together for the annual Fine & Country Foundation Autumn Ball at the magnificent Stanbrook Abbey Hotel in Worcester on Saturday 4 October.
By the end of the evening, an impressive £7,800 had been raised for charities working to tackle homelessness across the UK.
Held in the grandeur of the 16th-century former monastery, the night began with a champagne and canapé reception before guests sat down to a beautifully served three-course dinner.
What followed was an evening brimming with laughter, warmth and a shared commitment to giving back.
UNFORGETTABLE EVENING
The entertainment was just as special. Harpist Meredith McCracken set the tone early with her ethereal performance, while live band The Score kept the dance floor packed late into the night.
Adding a touch of motoring glamour, Morgan Motor Company of Malvern displayed two of its luxury cars outside the venue – a fitting entrance to a truly unforgettable evening.
A charity auction and raffle – featuring two prizes donated by Morgan Motor Company – helped boost the fundraising total, with every pound going directly to projects supporting people experiencing homelessness.
FANTASTIC CELEBRATION
Event organiser Vanessa Bradford, Branch Partner at Fine & Country Droitwich Spa, Worcester and Malvern, says: “I’m absolutely thrilled by the kindness shown not just on the night but in the lead-up to the event too.
“The atmosphere was incredible, and to raise £7,800 in one evening is just phenomenal.
“Every pound will go towards making a real difference in people’s lives.
“I want to thank everyone who supported the event – our guests, sponsors, performers, the venue and volunteers – for making the night such a success.”
Among the guests was Jonathan Handford, Interim Managing Director of Fine & Country, who praised the spirit of the evening: “The Autumn Ball was a fantastic celebration of what our network can achieve when we come together for a cause that truly matters.
“The sense of community, compassion and generosity in the room was inspiring. It’s a privilege to see The Fine & Country Foundation continuing to make such a tangible impact.”
The Fine & Country Foundation continues to support charities across the UK and overseas through grants, fundraising events and local initiatives.
Members of the public can still get involved by nominating local organisations for funding through the Foundation’s Autumn Grant Programme, which offers grants of up to £3,000.
