| A Worthing-based estate agency chain celebrated its 35th birthday by hosting a black-tie ball to raise vital funds for Coastal West Sussex Mind. The sold-out event – hosted by at the Worthing Dome – featured a three-course dinner, an auction, a raffle and a live band, which collectively raised £9,292 for the mental health charity. The auction lots included concert tickets for various acts at the O2, a signed Brighton & Hove Albion football shirt, a spa break, and a cooking class with MasterChef winner Kenny Tutt. All products and services were kindly donated by local businesses. Pat Barton, Managing Director, said: “We have been serving the south coast for 35 years and wanted to celebrate this milestone in a spectacular fashion. After consulting our staff we decided to host an event that benefited a local charity. Most people know someone who has experienced mental health issues so Coastal West Sussex Mind was the obvious charity to support.” |
