A slice of the exotic Middle East came to Cheshire when CAFT held their annual ball, this year with the spicy theme of Arabian Nights.

The charity was joined by 350 guests at The Mere Golf Resort and Spa in Knutsford for an evening of fun and glamour. Guests sipped on a glass of fizz before tucking into a delicious three-course dinner, with entertainment. Andy Ashworth hosted the event with the help of the charity's sponsors and patrons.

The event raised an amazing £100,000 with help from a fabulous auction, which included top prizes from United Airlines and Randalls of Altrincham. CAFT provides a variety of free programmes for terminally ill, disabled and disadvantaged children from the North West. The evening was rounded off by live music from the Deadbeats and DJ Neil Bebbo.
