Handbags and Gladrags charity lunch, Grafene restaurant, Manchester

Gladrags at Grafene

Handbags and Gladrags charity lunch organised by Sharon Chantry and Claire Bennison took place at Grafene restaurant in Manchester city centre.

Guests enjoyed a fine dining menu, prepared by head chef Ben Mounsey, music from Coronation Street’s Victoria Ekanoye, and a fashion show by Button Boutique. Sipsmiths offered a gin tasting experience along with the chance to bid in an auction. The afternoon, hosted by Hugh Ferris, raised £15,500 in support of the re-development of the Computed Tomography (CT) department at The Christie Hospital.

All proceeds from the afternoon will go towards a new, state-of-the-art 4D CT scanner that will add an extra layer to imaging, combining CT scans with video X-ray, making interactive procedures possible during the scanning process.
