Echelon Conference Gala Dinner raises £35,000 for Herts Young Homeless
A whopping £35,000 was raised for Herts Young Homeless at this year’s Echelon Conference gala dinner.
After a packed day of discussion and debate delegates had the opportunity to network and relax with a drinks reception sponsored by Mulalley, followed by the dinner, sponsored by Ian Williams Ltd.
Actor, presenter, and multi-award-winning comedian Dave Bibby hosted the evening, which also including a moving interview with HYH young service user James by Accommodation Support Worker Grace Devlin.
Guests then participated in our Elephant Escapade game, before settling down to dinner, which was followed by entertainment from comedian and ventriloquist Max Fulham.
The evening was rounded off with an auction, and the drawing of the raffle, which collectively raised £35,000.
The money will be put to good use supporting the work of Herts Young Homeless, whose services range from prevention, to early intervention, crisis support and independent living support.
