A Heartfelt Thank You!!

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended our St Vincent’s Mental Health Awareness Week fundraiser! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was joyful, and we hope you enjoyed the bhangra dancing as much as we did!

We’re thrilled to share that, thanks to your generosity, we raised:
£400+ from the raffle
£450 from ticket sales
And an incredibly generous £1,000 donation from someone who couldn’t attend
Bringing our total fundraising to an amazing £1,850!
Your support for Shropshire Mental Health Support makes a real and lasting impact. Every penny raised stays right here in Shropshire, helping us respond swiftly and compassionately to those who need us most.
Thank you again for your incredible support—it truly means the world to us. 💚

Special thanks to:

Oh, what a night! A huge thank you to each of you who supported our charity fashion show.

First and foremost, I want to thank the entire @firstlight.shrewsbury team for their invaluable support and for showcasing their incredibly stylish clothes. Our amazing models truly pushed themselves out of their comfort zones and nailed the catwalk.

A special shout-out to Dan and Phil for creating such a fantastic atmosphere with their saxophone and spin duo @saxspin. I also want to do a big shout-out to the best photographer in town, @alex_ford_wedding_photography, for capturing this event so perfectly.

A big thank you to @sianbrennantodd, our patron and host for the evening, who ensured everything flowed seamlessly. Thanks also to @wildstreetkitchen for the delicious food and, of course, to our wonderful volunteers who made it all possible.

We raised £2010!

The sun shone and we took it ‘Back to the 90s’ in style! Thanks to everyone who came and lit up the park with their dance energy. It was so much fun! Once again, your smiles helped galvanise the message that moving is so good for our mental well-being and dancing TOGETHER,as a community, even better 

Thank you to everyone who has so generously donated to help Shropshire Mental Health Support Chairy continue to reach and support people across the county; so far we have raised nearly £500 through this event

We are thrilled to share our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make our 50th Birthday Ball an unforgettable success. From raffle and auction prize donations to the generous contributions from those unable to attend, we are immensely grateful for your support.

A special shout-out goes to those who joined us for the celebration, which was nothing short of spectacular. The incredible performances by the Hot Jazz Biscuits and Sarah Bright and the Dapper Flappers brought energy and excitement to the evening, elevating the event to new heights.

We’d also like to extend our gratitude to Alex Ford Photography for capturing the joy and magic of the night, providing us with beautiful memories to cherish. Our Auctioneer, David Brettell, deserves a huge thank you for his efforts, which helped us exceed our fundraising goal.

Last but certainly not least, we want to express our deep appreciation for our amazing volunteers, whose dedication and hard work were essential to the event’s success.

We’re excited to announce that, thanks to everyone’s generosity, we believe we raised approximately £8,500. This significant amount will go towards our new well-being vehicle, helping us continue our mission to support mental health in our community.

Thank you once again for being part of this milestone celebration!
