A glittering success for John Taylor Hospice!

Taking place at the Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport on Friday 7th September, the ball featured live music, dancers, auctions, a raffle, and three-course dinner. Companies, individuals, hospice supporters, staff, patients and their families attended the event, with all proceeds supporting John Taylor’s care.

As part of the Sutton Coldfield Chamber of Commerce, and JTH being their chosen charity, we wanted to help them add some sparkle to the event and sponsored a glitter make-up artist to come along to ‘decorate’ the guests.

The glitter artist was much more popular than we anticipated, with many guests – including the chaps! – queuing for face art and making a donation in return. We then encouraged guests to post their pics across social media helping to raise awareness.

Hospice Community and Events Fundraiser Emily Boate said the event was hugely successful, raising around £20,000.

It’s great to see the support offered from other businesses for such a worthy cause and PLOTT was in great company with other event sponsors Simpsons Gin Bar, Christine Brolan Civil Celebrant, Wright Restaurants, Lilies Funeral Directors and Provex Solutions Ltd.

The Glitter Ball may be over but there is still time to do something cool to support JTH, with forthcoming events including a skydive, Big Quiz of the Year, their open day and ‘Light up a Life’ – full details are on the website: John Taylor Hospice
