What a night! This time last week Zoë McCabe Brennan and Jack Wilson were looking forward to an evening spent at the NSPCC Spring Ball 2024 💚 A huge thank you to Holiday Inn Peterborough West for inviting us along as their guests, it was a great evening raising money for a hugely worthwhile cause. The evening, including a raffle and auction, raised over a staggering £15,000 👏 The ball, organised by The Peterborough Business Support Group, is held annually to raise money for the work NSPCC do in the Peterborough area. We heard a hard hitting but inspiring talk from Aaron Hearne MBE about losing his brother Liam in 2010 and the amazing work he has done since to raise over £300,000 for services that provide free and confidential counselling for young people across the UK 👏 Entertainment was given throughout the night from compere and magician Paul Martin, Michelle Andrews sang the early evening away with a musical theatre performance, Motor City Vipers ensured a packed dancefloor, continued by DJ Rick Santini 🎵 A huge well done goes to Nel Woolcott, Chris Collier and the rest of the Business Support Group, who did a fantastic job of organising and executing an amazing evening. Not to mention the hotel/catering team who served a delicious three course dinner 😍 It was great to see so many familiar faces, although they are now witnesses to some dodgy dancing from the team, but also witnesses to Zoe beating Jack at Cornhole 🙌 #nspccspringball #cambschamber #chambernetwork
