A FUNDRAISING dinner is set to boost the coffers of Hartlepool ceremonial mayor's two chosen charities.

Cllr Mary Fleet is hosting the Mayor’s Civic Dinner in the Flagship Restaurant at Hartlepool College of Further Education in support of Hartlepool Special Needs Support Group and Diabetes UK.

The evening will include a glass of fizz on arrival, a three course meal and musical entertainment and there will also be a tombola and raffle to raise even more funds.

Cllr Fleet said: “Bring your friends and join me for a great night out with a delicious meal and help two very deserving local charities into the bargain.

"If people can’t attend the dinner but would still like to support the event, donations of raffle or tombola prizes before the event would be very welcome."

For more information about the event on Friday, February 26, call Karen Mason in the mayor’s office on 01429-523704 or email karen.mason@hartlepool.gov.uk

Tickets costing £35 per person must be purchased in advance.
