Over 320 guests enjoyed a fizz and canapé reception before a three course meal. Support services manager at Blackpool Carers’ Centre said: ‘We would like to thank everyone who attended this event. It was such a successful and enjoyable evening.

The charity ball is a great way of raising awareness of carers’ issues. Our continued work to support and fundraise unpaid carers is incredibly important.’
