A 'FANTASTIC' ball raised £18,000 for charity.

The event was staged in support of Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust's charitable arm, Better Lives.

Host was contracting and manufacturing company, PEC.

Proceeds from the event, at the Aria Suite in Leeds, will go towards enhancing care district-wide.

Sohan Panesar, PEC managing director, says: "It was a fantastic ball, and amazing to have so many businesses sponsoring prizes and attending. We're proud to continue supporting our local NHS charity and its great work."

Catherine Jowitt, head of charity and volunteering at the care trust, says: "We'd like to give a heartfelt 'thank you' to PEC for its generous support and to all the guests, sponsors and volunteers who helped make the night such a huge success."
