Trinity Winchester is thrilled to announce the success of its recent Charity Gala Evening, held on Saturday 18 October at Winchester College, which raised an incredible £34,000 to support local people experiencing homelessness, mental ill-health, and domestic abuse.
The event welcomed over 140 guests for an evening filled with celebration, generosity, and community spirit. Attendees enjoyed a three-course dinner, live entertainment, silent and live auctions, and inspiring speeches — all in support of Trinity’s vital services across Winchester and the surrounding area.
A significant moment of the evening was a moving speech from Amelia Riviere DL, Chair of Trustees at Trinity, who addressed the rising number of women experiencing street homelessness, and the significant impact of Trinity’s work in supporting them. Musical entertainment was provided by The Daisy Chains, while the auction, led by Rick Adams, featured prizes generously donated by local businesses.
Sue McKenna, CEO of Trinity Winchester, said:
“We are overwhelmed by the generosity and compassion shown at this year’s Gala. The funds raised will go directly towards providing long-term support and housing solutions for people in our community who need it most. Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and helped make the evening such a success.”
Trinity Winchester would like to extend special thanks to Pro Vision, whose generous sponsorship made the event possible, alongside the many individuals and businesses who donated items to the auction and raffle.
