Prestigious guests are set to attend a Rotary Charity Ball next month – raising funds for Bolton Hospice and Bolton Mental Health Independent Support Team.

Bolton Lever Rotary Club is hosting their annual ball on May 11 and Nicoleta Teodorovici, the Romanian General Consul at Manchester has confirmed that she will be attending.

Diane Hawkins, His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Greater Manchester and the Mayor and Mayoress of Bolton will also be in attendance.

And finalist of Britain’s Got Talent, Maxwell Thorpe, will be performing at the Last Drop Village Hotel in the charity ball, proving to be one of the great attractions of the event.

The ball will not only raise money for the two charities, but it will also help local businesses promote their services and support across the region.

Tickets include a three-course dinner, a raffle, more than £10,000 worth of table prizes, and auction items include a stay at Low Wood Bay Hotel with spa access and afternoon tea, and a £600 Voucher for photography art and design.

Alan Wareham, President of Rotary Bolton Lever and one of the organisers of the event, said: “With the Charity Ball having its own website, we can use this to make everyone in Bolton and beyond aware of those who help support Bolton Hospice and Bolton Mental Health Independent Support Team, before and on an ongoing basis after the Charity Ball on 11th of May.

"The ball is bringing together like-minded people who want to not only help but invest in our community here in Bolton.

"The business community is also helping Rotary promote the event. The Bolton News is our Media Partner which is a massive accreditation and boost for the event.

“To have The Bolton News lend their support makes the people of Bolton aware of the event and in turn Bolton Hospice and Bolton Mental Health Independent Support Team.”

The Charity Ball has also been promoted by Bolton FM which was organised by Emma Mitson, Fundraiser and Corporate & Community Lead from Bolton Hospice.

Andrew Dickson, one of the founders and presenters at Bolton FM spoke to Bernard Murphy, Alan Wareham (Two of the organisers from Rotary Bolton Lever) and Emma Mitson about the Charity Ball and helped raise awareness not only of the event but of how it will support Bolton Hospice and Bolton Mental Health Independent Support Team.

There are still a few tickets available for the ball on May 11 to raise money for Bolton Hospice and Bolton Mental Health Independent Support Team and only a few weeks left to book.

Bolton Lever Rotary Club will host the event at The Last Drop Village Hotel in Bromley Cross and will start at 7pm until late.

Dress code is black tie or lounge suit.
