We lcome Dear Honoured Guests, I am delighted to welcome you all to St James’s Church for Quintessentially Foundation’s and The Crown’s Estates third annual Fayre of St James. Together we bring you a festive gathering to raise money for Rays of Sunshine - an immensely important and inspiring charity who grants wishes for seriously and terminally ill children across the UK. Every day of the year the charity gives brave and deserving young people the chance to put their illness on hold and enjoy a moment of escape. Tonight will showcase a winter extravaganza; featuring live performances from our extremely talented special guests, including festive music and readings from critically acclaimed musicians and actors. Please join in the celebrations and festive cheer for this wonderful charity evening. A great thank you must be given to Canon Lucy Winkett for hosting this special concert, to The Crown Estate for their generosity and for providing us with the opportunity to switch on the Jermyn Street Christmas Lights, and of course to our new venue host Quaglino’s, where this evening’s celebrations will be succeeded with the ultimate Christmas Party and festive feast, taking place alongside the unmissable auction. Finally, I would like to say a huge thank you to you all for supporting such a great cause by being here this evening and making events like this so memorable. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Warmest regards,
Ben Elliot Chairman of the Trustees, Quintessentially Foundation
