We strive to be an active member of our local community and give our time, resources, and funds as forces for good. So many exceptional charities exist and do such wonderful work, we always try to support as many as possible. One particularly close to our heart is The Principle Trust Children's Charity.

The most recent event at the Craiglands hotel in Ilkley raised an incredible £17,500. Upon attending the event we were excited to donate a large luxury hamper, an Airbnb stay in one of our 1700 period holiday cottages in Addingham and a very generous auction bid for an afternoon tea!

Mike Davies MBE, Charity Founder of The Principles Trust said:

‘Our annual ball is a key event in our fundraising calendar and is always generously supported. To have raised £17,500 in such challenging economic times was beyond our expectations and all monies raised will fund respite holidays for dozens if children and their families.’

‘We’re very grateful for the ongoing support from local businesses and charity patrons. On behalf of the under privileged disadvantaged, disabled and children with additional needs we support, we wish you a sincere and heartfelt thank you!'

This year we’ve also had the privilege of donating to the following worthy causes:

- Make a Wish Foundation

- McMillan Cancer - Hopes and Dreams Ball

- Yorkshire Cancer Research

- Addingham Pre School
