AN EVENTS company has chosen its charity of the year.

Events company JD Parties have named Claire House Children’s Hospice as its Charity of the Year alongside North West Air Ambulance.

Claire House will benefit from the proceeds of the casino tables at the decadent ‘Puttin’ on the Ritz’ parties held in Knowlesy Safari Park throughout November and December.

JD Parties has been running Christmas parties since 1995 at Tatton Park, Cheshire and have had their second site at Millennium Point, Birmingham since 2006 and a third site at Knowsley Safari Park since 2007.

Claire House regional fundraiser Laura Breen said: “We are thrilled to have been selected by the team at JD Parties.

“Not only will we benefit from the proceeds of the casino but Claire House will be promoted to the thousands of party goers throughout the Christmas period which is priceless.”
