Rutland Hope have announced they will be launching a new fundraising event to take place on Thursday 25th July in Oakham.

The black-tie gala promises for a elegant and meaningful night celebrating connection, compassion and community, all while raising vital funds for For Rutland.

For Rutland is a brilliant local organisation that raises much needed funds for Citizens Advice Rutland so they can provide vital, non-medical advice to people of all ages living with long term health conditions.

The event, which will take place at the Wisteria Hotel in Oakham, will include a drinks reception on arrival, a delicious three course meal, inspiring speeches from local voices, live music, dancing and a charity raffle.

Organiser Roxy has described the evening as 'bringing people together for a night to remember - with one goal: to support local lives.'
