SALISBURY law firm Trethowans is sponsoring a glamorous fundraising event on Saturday evening.

The Australia-theme evening includes a dinner with a pair of Australian wines to partner each course, followed by an auction of promises.

Music will be provided by the Chaldon Consort and all proceeds from the night will be given to Alabar Christian Care Centres' Damascus House, a supported housing project in Salisbury.

Alabar provides support and accommodation to people facing homelessness, disability and learning difficulties in Salisbury and across Wiltshire.

Trethowans is one of the main sponsors of the event, which will take place at the Guildhall, in Salisbury, from 7pm.

Lots include a French villa holiday, signed cricket bats from Surrey and Middlesex County Cricket Clubs and a White Star picture signed by the youngest of the three remaining survivors of the Titanic Disaster, Lilliana Dean.

Elizabeth Webbe, a member of Alabar's special events panel and head of the private client department at Trethowans, said: "I think it is vitally important that firms such as Trethowans support charities such as Alabar Christian Care Centres and help them to continue their valuable work."
