Dukes' charity tombola and auction raises £1000 for charity
Raising money for charity and increasing awareness for local businesses
Every month in 2018 Dukes are celebrating hitting the milestone of 25 years in business with a different event or perk for the staff.
For the month of May we hosted a charity tombola and auction to raise awareness of local businesses and raise money for our local charity Douglas Macmillan Hospice and our chosen charity Alzheimer's Society.
Based in Stone, we sought a range of prizes from local, independent businesses across Staffordshire. The support and generosity that we received from the community was fanastic! We had a whole range of prizes donated including:

Toboganning for 2 at the Snowdome
An Emma Bridgewater experience for 2 people
A magnum of champagne from Whitebridge Wines
A free beauty treatment at Bronze and Beautyful
