WATERHAVEN Place, the newest addition to the Connaught Care Collection, recently hosted a dazzling ‘Gatsby Charity Gala’ to raise funds for the Chichester District Foodbank. 

The 1920s themed event was a glamorous evening of live entertainment, featuring jazz music from local band Lady and The Dukes, mesmerising hoop performances by Sabine the Aerial Artist, and an electrifying dance showcase by The Charleston Club. 

Guests also enjoyed an selection of handcrafted canapés prepared by Waterhaven Place’s culinary team.

The event welcomed local businesses and members of the community, with the Mayor of Chichester, Sarah Quail, joining the festivities. 

Together, attendees raised more than £3,000 for the foodbank, providing vital support for families in need. Since its inception, the Chichester District Foodbank has distributed more than 64,009 food parcels, including Kids Lunch Packs for local school children.

As part of its ongoing commitment to the community, the Waterhaven Place team has been volunteering at the foodbank and participating in various charitable initiatives. Hosting the gala was a heartfelt way to give back and strengthen community connections.
