A FUNDRAISING ball in Ross-on-Wye has raised £14,000 for a children's hospice.

The Acorns Ross-on-Wye Support Group held the ball at the Chase Hotel in aid of Acorn's Children's Hospice.

The black tie event was organised by Garry Davies, Chad Harris, Helen Powles and Ian Phillips, supported by Bob Chadwick and Peter McGovern.

The night included Irish comedian Dusty Young, live music from band Holly Collins and an auction.

The main sponsor was Rob Crawford of CMCA UK and photos were taken by Caz Holbrook Photography.

Acorn's Children's Hospice provides care, support, fun and laughter for children with life limiting or life threatening conditions and their families, covering Birmingham, Walsall and Worcester.
