Local businesses are joining forces to support a black tie fundraising event which is being hosted by Lloyds TSB Commercial, to help raise much needed finance for the Chernobyl Children Life Line charity.

The event will be held at the exclusive De Vere Staverton Park Hotel in Daventry on 10th June, and will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl. 

The bank hopes to attract widespread support from business leaders and professionals from across Oxfordshire and Gloucester region, in order to raise several thousands of pounds for this extremely worthwhile cause.

The Chernobyl Children Life Line charity manages numerous humanitarian projects across Belarus, providing much needed support to local children, their families and local communities. It also works with a number of orphanages and children's hospitals.

Guests will be served a three course meal, which will then be followed by an evening of entertainment.

Event organiser Claire Willcox, Senior Healthcare Banking Consultant for Lloyds TSB Commercial said:

"The Chernobyl nuclear disaster had a profound effect on the daily lives of millions of people in Belarus and even 25 years on since the explosion, the charity still desperately needs financial support to progress their extremely worthy local projects.

"We hope that the local business and professional community will turn out to support our event. It promises to be a fabulous evening socialising with friends and associates, but most importantly, we want to raise as much money as possible for our charity."

Tickets cost just £35.00 each which includes a three course meal and coffee, as well as after-dinner entertainment. Anyone wishing to attend the event should contact Claire Willcox on telephone: 07764 287844 or via email: claire.willcox@lloydstsb.co.uk
