The Prince’s Trust’s inaugral Evening of Art, a charity art auction held at Bath’s Assembly Rooms on 7th December 2011, proved a triumphant success.
More than £74,000 was raised on the night, far exceeding the Trust’s initial target of £50,000, with all of the proceeds going directly towards supporting disadvantaged young people in the South West.
As one of the event’s principal sponsors, the Reside team donned their glad-rags and, along with many other specially invited guests, bidded on pieces of art donated by a host of top artists such as Nick Park, Sir Peter Blake and Rob Ryan.
Michelle Moran, Head of Fundraising for The Prince’s Trust South West, said, “This income will make a huge difference to the lives of disadvantaged young people in the region, particularly at a time when youth unemployment is so high. We couldn’t have achieved this success and raised such a fantastic amount without the help of every individual and company involved.”
From us all here at Reside, many thanks and congratulations to Michelle, Beth and everyone at The Prince’s Trust for organising such an enjoyable event for a truly worthwhile cause.
