Stephen Miles, newly elected president of the Suffolk Agricultural Association, hosted a president’s cocktail party and raised close to £3,000.

Stephen is a trustee for R.A.B.I and head of the management committee for the charity’s residential home in Suffolk: Manson House. Around 175 guests attended the event in the Trinity Rooms at the Suffolk Showground, enjoying glasses of fizz and canapes.

At the event, Stephen and fellow trustee Joshua Hosier spoke to guests about the work the charity does to help farming people.

Lucy Bellefontaine, regional manager for the East, said: “It was great to see so many people from the Suffolk farming community in attendance. Events like these help us raise awareness of R.A.B.I to new people.”

Thank you to Hutchinsons for supporting the event.
