Laura Anderson and Anne-Marie lead stars uniting to raise life-changing £1.8million at John Caudwell’s Butterfly Ball
ANNE-Marie and Laura Anderson were among the stars who raised £1.8million after uniting at John Caudwell’s Butterfly Ball.
The ceremony takes place every year to help the Caudwell Children charity continue its mission for thousands of poorly children across the UK.
The annual ball took place at the Indigo at The O2 and raised almost £2m to support autistic children and children with a disability.
This year’s event centred around the theme “We are all Different, Be You” and was hosted by Love Island star Laura Whitmore.
The guest list included an array of TV stars who posed up a storm while dazzling on the red carpet.
Pregnant Laura Anderson, 35, was also glowing on the red carpet in a multi-coloured sequinned bandeau midi-dress as she attended with her pal.
She paired her glamorous dress with a pair of gold strappy high heels.
Her makeup looked effortless, as she went for a glowing glam look, with a shimmery eyeshadow and black eyeliner, complete with a glossy light pink lip.
Laura’s platinum blonde hair was styled down with a middle parting in loose curls.
Pop singer, Anne-Marie also made an appearance on the red carpet and opted for a casual look with a printed oversized t-shirt and baggy black jeans.
Anne styled her hair in bunches and went for a minimal makeup look with a matte light pink lipstick and black eyeliner and mascara.
John Caudwell, founder of Caudwell Children, said “I am incredibly proud of the work Caudwell Children delivers each and every year, which is why so much of my time and energy is dedicated to supporting their work.
“This year the Butterfly Ball celebrated all of our differences, helping us to recognise that by thinking and acting differently we can affect positive change in the world.”
Founded by philanthropist John in 2000, Caudwell Children has helped 78,500 children and their families and has provided more than £91million worth of services.
By personally paying for the charity’s annual administration and management overheads, he enables the charity to offer complete transparency to its supporters, with 100 per cent of donations going directly to the children and families who need it.
