Lohri of Hope raises £25,000!
On Saturday 24th January 500 people came together at CSN in Birmingham to celebrate Lohri of Hope. A charity ball in aid of Unique Home organised by Snob Events & UK Friends of Unique Home.
The event was a huge success with guests enjoying a sparkling drinks reception, four course meal and impressive entertainment from DJ Dipps Bhamrah from BBC Asian Network, DJ Nav, a live set by JK, Giddha Sansaar, Eternal Taal and Vasda Punjab. The star of the evening was Sukshinder Shinda who performed his hits with a live band. The event was hosted by Unique Home supporter Harjap Bhangal . The auction was particularly entertaining with the highest bid going for a signed Pele top for £5,000!
One of the organisers and Trustee for UK Friends of Unique Home Harinder Singh said ‘We are delighted with the amount we have raised this evening and the awareness we have raised for the work of Unique Home. We are grateful to all our sponsors, supporters and guests for contributing to the success of the event!’
Parvy Rakar, founder & director Snob Events said ‘Our guests enjoyed an authentic Punjabi Lohri – the food, décor, favours and ambience we worked so hard to create took our guests back to Punjab where Lohri is celebrated with huge fan fare. We wanted to celebrate our daughters and show that there is equality for both sexes.’
