Our first ever Charity Dinner raises over £44,000!

On Saturday 23rd September at the beautiful Coombe Abbey Hotel, we were so grateful to welcome over 260 of you to our first ever Charity Dinner.

 

It was lovely to see so many of you come together to support Myton and enjoy a fabulous night filled with fundraising, food and fantastic entertainment.

 

We were blown away by the generosity of everyone who supported and attended the event, and we are delighted to announce that thanks to you we have raised a phenomenal £44,000!

We were dazzled by Disco Diamonds’ performance and can’t stop thinking about how magician, Angus, captivated the whole audience – the entertainment really was excellent.
