Over £23K raised for local kids at annual celeb filled Christmas lunch

PR Supremo Carolyn Hughes hosted her annual CHPR Charity Christmas Lunch yesterday at GUSTO Albert Dock.

The 12^th annual glamorous lunch has become the hottest festive tickets in town, supported by over 250 of Liverpool’s glitterati, movers and shakers.

The day was hosted by The Guide Liverpool’s Lindzi Germaine and entertainment included performances from a DJ and Saxophonist, followed by a rousing set from dynamic duo Dixie Daye and Chantel Coleman, before FIRE rounded the afternoon off with a collection of party floor fillers.

The event raised over £23,000 for Radio City’s Cash for Kids and was supported by Rebecca Ferguson, Liz McLarnon, Danielle Lloyd, Gillian Kearney and RHOC Dawn Ward. Our very own Jay Hynd was transformed into an elf for the ‘Selfie with an Elfie’ competition whilst Chris Farley took his role as The Grinch perfectly.
