Central England Co-operative funeralcare is set to host a Bollywood extravaganza to raise money for a charity that supports disabled children.

The event will take place from 7.30pm on Friday, 18 November, at the Irish Centre, in High Street, Digbeth, Birmingham, to raise money for the Society’s corporate charity partner Newlife Foundation for Disabled Children.

Tickets will cost £10 and will include traditional Asian cuisine, a Bhangra DJ, and Henna art.

Money raised will go towards a Society wide effort to raise £1.5 million for the charity.

Newlife is dedicated to providing information and practical support for children with disabilities and their families.

Although Newlife is a national charity, every penny raised by Central England Co-operative is helping children in the Midlands.

More information about the event can be found by calling 07850 001965.
