Principle Trust Valentine Ball 2015
Councillor John Dawson, the town Mayor of Skipton, joined Trustees and supporters at the Coniston Hotel on Saturday 14th February for a Valentine treat at the Principle Trust 4th Annual Charity Ball and Auction.
Revellers and romantics were treated to a champagne reception, followed by a delicious four course dinner, and to complete the evening a spectacular auction. Auction prizes included a day at Millbrook Proving Ground as a VIP of Aston Marton, VIP tickets to the Etihad Stadium and a Spa Day at the Devonshire Hotel Bolton Abbey.
JCT600 kindly supported the event, and to help fundraise, were offering lucky guests a test drive in the magnificent Aston Martin Rapide S for a donation to the charity.
‘’ the evening was a huge success and raised over £10,000 of much needed funding for our worthy cause – we would like to say a very sincere thank you to all who attended and supported us. 2014 was a fantastic year for The Trust; we raised sufficient funding to purchase a third holiday home which subsequently enabled us to provide a record 202 children with a fun and exciting holiday. ‘’
‘’the barre has been set for 2015; we do like a challenge!’’
‘’We know from feedback received that the benefits of the holidays provided have a very positive effect on the children, and in some instances have literally changed lives’’

A Record Year !
WHAT A SUMMER!
2014 was a record year for The Principle Trust!
We purchased our 3rd holiday home, and we have now helped a record 202 children to enjoy a holiday; creating some everlasting memories of fun and excitement!
We have also been very busy forging lots of new relationships with local children’s organisations ensuring that we can reach those children who really need a holiday.
We have been supported by donors including Ilkley Rotary Club, and The Mayor of Skipton selected to support us as one of his charities during his Mayoral year.
Our fundraising programme has included events linked with Oakbank School in Keighley, Skipton Girls High School & Craven College, exhibiting at Kilnsey Show, and we raised an outstanding £1200 by opening our car parks during the Tour de France.
Fundraising events are always taking place – watch out for the next event! And if you have any new ideas, please share them with us !
Volunteers are always required – If you think you could offer any help or support, or have any fantastic new ideas please let us know!

On behalf of all The Happy Children – THANK YOU

The 1st Annual Big Skipton Quiz
The Principle Trust, a local Skipton Charity, held their first annual BIG Skipton Quiz on Thursday 16th Oct, at the Rendezvous Hotel.

A total of 36 teams gathered together to battle through the quiz questions to discover who have the biggest brains in Skipton.
Clear winners, The Bookworms, a team of colleagues from Skipton Library, thrashed the opposition and were presented with a cash prize and winner’s trophy by the Calendar Girls. They will return next year to defend their title.
Star guest, Egghead Barry Simmons, played Quiz Master to the 36 teams at the fun-filled evening and Councillor John Dawson, Town Mayor of Skipton provided a great deal of entertainment with his ‘Are you better than the Mayor round’
9 year old budding actress, Millie Kiss of Clitheroe, stole the limelight a little as the debut film for the Trust was shown to the audience. Millie said that ‘she had enjoyed her first 15 minutes of fame!’
During the event, a cheque from Oakbank School in Keighley was presented to Chairman of the Charity, Mike Davies. The school had spent the last year fundraising for the Principle Trust. Their team, The Awesome Foursome +2, claimed runners up prize, which was very kindly donated back to the charity.
