The House of Hope Scotland held their inaugural Gala Ball on Friday at Prestonfield House. <\/p>\n

At the event the charity raised \u00a370,000 with silent auction, live auction and donations on the night.<\/p>\n

Bringing together supporters and the Scottish business community for an incredible evening of education and celebration. The event was hosted by popular broadcaster Grant Stott and STV News Entertainment Reporter Laura Boyd, with Grant\u2019s rendition of \u201cThat\u2019s Fife!\u201d as always proving a particular highlight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m honestly blown away by what happened on Friday night,\u201d said\u00a0Lisa Fleming, founder of The House of Hope. \u201cTo raise \u00a370,000 is just incredible, especially in today\u2019s economic climate. It shows how much people believe in what we\u2019re doing and want to help others going through this journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

The funds raised will directly support The House of Hope\u2019s comprehensive range of services, including wellbeing therapies, tailored workshops, classes and emotional support services, all of which are provided free of charge to people affected by breast cancer and their families.<\/p>\n

The House of Hope is Scotland\u2019s first dedicated wellbeing and support centre for people affected by breast cancer and their families. Founded by Lisa Fleming, who was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in 2017, alongside husband Euan, the charity provides a welcoming, non-clinical sanctuary offering vital holistic support services.<\/p>\n

The success of the Gala Ball was made possible through the generous support of sponsors including headline sponsor BTO Solicitors LLP, Hunters Gardens, and CF Services, alongside the continued partnership of partners Scotto and Estee Lauder Companies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole evening was just magical,\u201d added Fleming. \u201cFrom our amazing sponsors to Grant and Laura keeping everyone entertained, to every single person who bid in the auctions or made a donation, everyone played a part in making this happen. A huge thank you as well to Prestonfield House and Signature Pub Group for donating the VIP and drinks receptions on the evening. This money will help us reach so many more people affected by breast cancer who need our support.\u201d<\/p>\n
