We are thrilled that our former trustee, Christabel Flight, has been awarded a well-deserved MBE. Christabel was one of the earliest supporters and trustees of our Foundation, the architect of Silver Sunday and our annual Tea Dance. Congratulations, Christabel!
Our annual Tea Dance was a huge success last weekend! In the splendid surroundings of Grosvenor House Hotel, it was a fantastic occasion. A huge thank you to our guest of honour, Angela Rippon, everyone who participated and to our many supporters for making the occasion possible.
Join us for the annual Sir Simon Milton Foundation Tea Dance on Sunday, December 1, 2024, from 2:00 to 4:30 PM at the iconic Great Room, Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane! 🫖💃
