Another highly succesful, International Evening at the Marriot Hotel in Northampton ensured that a generous donation will be presented to an International Charity.
This year, "Hope & Homes for Children" will benefit, thanks to the efforts of the Project Group's hard work and the support of principal speaker, Nick Hewer, a patron of the Charity whose presence ensured a full house of expectant listeners.
Nick Hewer spoke very eloquently of his experiences working with Hope & Homes in Europe and Africa, painting a moving story of the fantastic work this small charity does to try to provide provide, and support, loving families for children - who otherwise would lead very different and unhappy lives.
He also gave the audience a fascinating insight into his long relationship with Amstrad and Lord Sugar, with some very interesting comments on the making of the "Young Apprentice" programmes.
