The Rainbow House Diamond Ball held in the Ambassador Suite at Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa on 9th September raised over £19,600 for the charity.

The annual event was organised by Lisa and Paul Maddison whose daughter Katie
attends conductive education at Rainbow House with John Nelon as Master of Ceremonies.

Katie, who is 11, has made tremendous progress with the help of conductive education and has attended twice weekly since she was 18 months old.

After enjoying a welcome drink on arrival, guests sat down to a three course dinner followed by live entertainment from The Wickermen.

Auction prizes included a four night break in Cannes, diamond earrings donated by HSBC, a stunning piece of artwork donated by the celebrated artist Clare Wright and a weekend break at a Farm House donated by Barden Energy Ltd, whilst one lucky lady, Sarah Smith of Formby, won a diamond bracelet, also donated by HSBC.

Auction and raffle prizes were donated by Michele McWha & Annette Mullane (HSBC), The Hilton Hotel in Liverpool and Gino D’Acampo My Restaurant in Liverpool.

Lisa Maddison said after the event: “We would like to thank everyone who supported the event, especially HSBC who contribute prizes, attend the event and match fund, together with all those who donated prizes for the auction and raffle and took tables.”

Pauline Clare, Chair of the Trustees, Rainbow House, said “Our thanks go to Lisa and Paul Maddison for their hard work in making the event so successful and to all the guests for helping raise such a fantastic amount.”
