LIVERPOOL Football Club manager Rafa Benitez joined his wife Monse for a sparkling fundraiser at the home of the Duke of Westminster.
The Long Room of Eaton Hall, near Chester, was the venue for an evening of champagne and diamonds in aid of Hoylake Cottage, raising £3,500 for the nursing centre for older people.
Monse Benitez and fellow members of the Hoylake Cottage fundraising committee organised the event to raise funds for a new kitchen and day care centre.
Hoylake Cottage chairman of fundraising Mark Matthews said: “It was a fabulous occasion made possible by the generosity of lots of supporters of Hoylake Cottage.”
