Rosemount Financial Solutions (IFA), the mortgage, protection, and financial planning network, has raised more than £33,000 for two partner charities through its latest Charity Ball.
The event was held on 19th September at Audleys Wood Hotel in Basingstoke, with the aim of raising funds for Stepping Stones DS and Hazie Days.
Stepping Stones DS supports children and young people with Down Syndrome, as well as their families, across South East Berkshire, North Hampshire and West Surrey.
Services are tailored to each individual child, with activities focused on education, physical development, social skills, and family wellbeing.
Hazie Days creates inclusive and fun experiences that empower children with additional needs and their families.
It works with dozens of families across Basingstoke and North Hampshire.
On the night, attendees were invited to bid on a host of auction items, including those donated by advisers and industry partners.
Lots included: A magnum of Veuve Clicquot (donated by Loans Warehouse), a fourball experience at Ferndown Golf Club (donated by Twenty7Tec), a four night stay at Crystal Cottage in Holmfirth (donated by NeedingAdvice.co.uk) and a seven course dinner for 12 at Brinsop Court, personally cooked by Jacqui Fitt, a member of the Rosemount network.
Ahmed Bawa (pictured), CEO of Rosemount Financial Solutions (IFA), said: “The Charity Ball was a tremendous success, raising a huge amount of money for two exceptional local charities.
“We have long been supporters of Stepping Stones DS and Hazie Days, and have seen first hand the wonderful work they do for children with special needs, and their families.
“These charities rely on donations, so events like our Charity Ball ensure they can remain active, making a real difference to families in our local community.
“I’m delighted by the support we received in putting together lots for the auction, with prizes donated by a range of businesses, including industry partners and our own advisers.”
