Right royal ball raises over £45,000 for The Giles Trust

The annual Giles Trust ball held at Edgbaston Cricket Ground was once again a huge success, raising awareness and funds for brain tumour research at QEHB.

Attendees included former England Cricketers, Ashley Giles and Jim Troughton, and entrepreneur Caprice. Ashley and his wife, Stine set up the Giles Trust after Stine developed a brain tumour in 2006.

The event had musical entertainment from reality TV star turned musician, Julius Cowdrey, and DJ Phil Upton, as well as silent and live auctions with exciting sporting prizes.

Cathryn Worth, Fundraising Manager said: “It was a wonderful evening of food and dancing, and of course generous fundraising, thank you to everybody who came along and I hope to see many of you at the next event to continue to support brain tumour research in the West Midlands.”
