Last week, Little Hiccups had the honour of being invited to The Yorkshire Leadership Awards hosted at The Queens, organised by The BusinessDesk.com. It was an evening filled with camaraderie, generosity, and inspiration, leaving us profoundly grateful for the opportunity and the support we received.
As the chosen charity for the event, we were not only treated to a sumptuous three-course meal but also given a platform to showcase the invaluable work we do at Little Hiccups. Lindsay, one of our dedicated team members, took to the stage to deliver a heartfelt speech, shedding light on our mission to support families with children who have disabilities or additional needs. It was a moment of pride for us to share our story with such a distinguished audience, and the response we received was overwhelming.
The highlight of the evening was the silent auction, where attendees generously bid on a range of items, with all proceeds going directly to Little Hiccups. Witnessing the community come together to support our cause was truly humbling. From cash donations to online contributions, every gesture was a testament to the kindness and compassion that exists within our community.
We are thrilled to announce that through the collective effort of everyone present, we were able to raise an incredible £2262.63. This sum will go a long way in furthering our efforts to provide vital resources, support, and respite to families who need it most. It’s moments like these that reaffirm the power of unity and remind us of the difference we can make when we come together with a common purpose.
The evening was not just about fundraising; it was a celebration of leadership, community, and the indomitable spirit of giving back. We extend our heartfelt thanks to The BusinessDesk.com for extending the invitation to us and for their unwavering support of local charities. It’s initiatives like these that truly make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
To everyone who attended, donated, or contributed in any way, we express our deepest gratitude. Your generosity and kindness have left an indelible mark on our hearts and reinforced our belief in the power of compassion to transform lives.
As we reflect on the evening, we are filled with renewed determination to continue our mission of supporting families and empowering children with disabilities. With your ongoing support, we look forward to creating a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
