Christmas Fundraiser 2022

17/12/2022

We are thrilled to announce that our Christmas Sparkle Week raised an amazing total of £420 for Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary!

Thank you to everyone from our online classes who donated so generously. It was lovely seeing everyone sparkling from top to toe in our Christmas Sparkle Week! We had sparkly Christmas jumpers, tiaras, hair decorations, and as seen in this photo, Eliana even decorated her ballet barre, too!

Here is a short behind-the-scenes video from our Christmas Sparkle Week,.

The video features Lorraine, joining us from on board her narrowboat, where she joins in her weekly online Silver Swans ballet class.

Wishing all the animals at Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary a very happy Christmas!
