In a first for the Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards, this year SoGlos hosted a very special Golden Ticket Giveaway, offering all the winners and finalists the chance to raise vital money for our Charity of the Year and take away some incredible prizes.
In just over two hours, a huge £2,300 was raised for the Hollie Gazzard Trust, thanks to the outstanding generosity of guests attending the event at The Sub Rooms in Stroud.
With tickets on sale for £10 each on the night, three epic prize bundles worth more than £3,000 overall were generously donated by Gloucestershire businesses and included luxury overnight stays with spa treatments; delicious dining experiences; tickets to some of the county's most popular attractions and events; and much more.
Nick Gazzard, founder and CEO of the Hollie Gazzard Trust, said: 'It was a real pleasure to be invited to attend the SoGlos Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards at the iconic Stroud Sub Rooms.
'The event was incredibly well organised and the relaxed atmosphere made catching up with friends and acquaintances a delight.
'We were so privileged to be the beneficiary of the golden ticket proceeds which made the evening all the more special. Congratulations to all the finalists and winners — what an incredible county we have.'
The proceeds of the Golden Ticket Giveaway will go towards the vital work the Hollie Gazzard Trust carries out to raise awareness of and prevent domestic abuse, stalking and violence through education, training and its unique Hollie Guard app.
