An elegant black tie ball in aid of Cancer Research UK was held at Alsager Golf and Country Club to honour the memory of a woman who died of the disease.

The All Christmas Charity Ball was organised by Katy Lee, in memory of her mum Alethea Lee, and it raised £2,641 for the cancer charity. Guests enjoyed a sparkling drinks reception followed by a three course dinner and music and entertainment from a DJ.

Katy said: ‘My siblings and I wanted to turn a negative into a positive and raise a lot of money in mum’s memory and to make a difference. It’s important to stick together and know that you can get through these things.’
