A fantastic charity event was held as The Shoebox Fairies hosted a Midsummer Ball. The organisation is run by a team of people who put together shoeboxes of essential items for children at Christmas, new mums, asylum seekers and people fleeing domestic abuse. Attendees were dressed to impress at the ball held at St Peter's Pavilion, Hindley.

The event raised a fantastic total of £1,173.
