Charwallahs and Chilli Night Raises Over £2,400 for Local Charities

Corbridge came alive on Saturday 14th March as nearly 100 guests gathered at Corbridge Parish Hall for the much-anticipated Charwallahs and Chilli Night, co-hosted by Corbridge Youth Initiative and the Charlotte Straker Project.

The evening featured a fantastic performance by the five-piece band The Charwallahs, who delighted the crowd with classic hits, including favourites by The Beatles. Guests also enjoyed a delicious chilli supper prepared by the kitchen team at Charlotte Straker House, while Corbridge Cricket Club ensured the bar was well stocked for the night’s festivities.

The event was a huge success, raising over £2,400, with profits to be split equally between the two local charities.

Berenice Groves, Chair of Trustees at Charlotte Straker House, said “It was wonderful to see our community come together for such a fun and meaningful evening. The support for our project and the Corbridge Youth Initiative has been overwhelming, and we are so grateful to everyone who attended and contributed.”

Chris Nevis from Corbridge Youth Initiative added “Events like this remind us of the strength and generosity of our local community. The funds raised will make a real difference to the young people we support, and we are thrilled to have shared such a memorable evening with the Charlotte Straker Project.”

The Charwallahs and Chilli Night not only celebrated great music, food, and company but also demonstrated the incredible spirit of giving in Corbridge.
