What started as an idea by Dream Beams’ chair Katie Jordan’s two daughters, Jemima and Annabelle wanting to help other children, has flourished into a successful charity with its inaugural ball raising a staggering £100,120.

The glamorous occasion was held at Merrydale Manor in Over Peover, with over 180 guests enjoying a night of sparkling entertainment. Dream Beams mission is to make a tangible difference to today's children; all funds from the evening will go towards the Childhood Bereavement Service run by East Cheshire Hospice.

Guests had the opportunity to bid on exceptional auction prizes including an at-home dining experience by Michelin Star chef Tom Parker, a holiday at a beach front property in Barbados and a stunning rare yellow diamond pendant.
