Prestigious charity Forever Angels held their Gala fundraising event at the Mercure Hotel in Manchester.

It was a star studded event as MCs for the evening were Ackley Bridge star Sam Retford and Britain’s Got Talent celebrity Ruby Murry.

Forever Angels Baby Home provides interim care for orphaned babies in Tanzania until a permanent family can be found.

Guests were thoroughly entertained by singers Abbie Ozard, X-Factor contestant Lloyd Daniels and Lucy Kay. The event was a huge success and raised a wonderful £7,000 which will go towards the running costs of the charity. Scott Maslen, patron of Forever Angels said: ‘I was proud to support Forever Angels at their gala which raises awareness and funds for the baby home in Tanzania.’
