The Fine & Country Foundation Autumn Ball 2025 proved to be an unforgettable evening of elegance and generosity, as guests gathered at the magnificent Stanbrook Abbey Hotel, Worcester, on Saturday, 4th October. The event raised an astounding £7,800 to support charities tackling homelessness across the UK.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the 16th-century former monastery, the night began with a sparkling champagne reception and canapés before guests enjoyed an exquisite three-course dinner. The atmosphere was brimming with warmth, laughter, and goodwill as attendees came together for a shared cause.
Entertainment throughout the evening was nothing short of spectacular. The Score, who kindly performed free of charge, kept the dance floor alive with their high-energy live set, while Meredith McCracken, the exceptionally talented harpist, added a touch of refined magic to the reception with her beautiful performance. Both artists generously donated their time and talent to support The Fine & Country Foundation. Morgan Motor Company of Malvern were also proud to display two of their stunning luxury cars at the event, flanking guests’ entrance to the glittering venue.
The evening also featured a charity auction and raffle, two prizes of which came from Morgan Motor Company of Malvern, with all proceeds contributing directly to projects helping individuals and families affected by homelessness. Event organiser Vanessa Bradford, Branch Partner at Fine & Country Droitwich Spa, Worcester and Malvern, expressed her thanks to everyone who attended and gave their time and money so generously: “I’m absolutely thrilled by the kindness shown not just on the night but in the lead up to the event too. The atmosphere was incredible, and to raise £7,800 in one evening is just phenomenal. Every pound will go towards making a real difference in people’s lives. I want to thank everyone who supported the event, our guests, sponsors, performers, the venue and volunteers, for making the night such a success.”
Among those celebrating the evening was Jonathan Handford, Interim Managing Director of Fine & Country, who commented: “The Autumn Ball was a fantastic celebration of what our network can achieve when we come together for a cause that truly matters. The sense of community, compassion, and generosity in the room was inspiring. It’s a privilege to see The Fine & Country Foundation continuing to make such a tangible impact.”
