Ainsley Harriot gets behind local charity

In a video released today, the vibrant cook urges you to join in the fun and host a dinner party for your friends this September and raise vital funds to support seriously ill local children and their families.

Hope House Tŷ Gobaith children’s hospices are even offering a free fundraising pack including invitations, place name cards, recipe suggestions from familiar faces, a free limited-edition bottle opener and even games and sweepstake kit to add to the fun.

Fundraiser Vanessa Marubbi, said: “We just love Ainsley!!

“His positive attitude and kind support is infectious and we can’t thank him enough for joining with us.

“We’ll be right behind all our diners to help them make their event a great success and raise those vital funds to support local children and families.”
