November 2024 – Winter Ball Huge Success!

Press Release  – 10th December 2024

Nearly 250 people gathered at York Racecourse for this year’s event which was once again sponsored by York-based housebuilder Persimmon raising £24,000 for mental health charities and support services.

“The majority of the funds we have raised will be used to support our boards which signpost people to help, and the rest will be spent on our third parties which provide counselling and help directly to people in need.”

Scott Waters, managing director for Persimmon Homes Yorkshire, said: “Charlie was a popular, well-known figure in the local business community as well as an active fundraiser himself.

“Since his tragic passing, Charlie’s family and friends have done an unbelievable job in helping raise awareness of mental health, fundraising and supporting charities in the region.

“As a York company we’re especially proud to have once again sponsored this fantastic event which helps raise money for the CDLF’s work supporting mental health charities and services across the city.”
