Manager, Mohammed Ahmin said, “Throughout the years The Royal Bengal has been helping to raise funds for charities and good causes. Over the last six years we have raised nearly £63,000 and we hope that our last charity night will be a success for Natalie and Preston.”

Natalie Crawford, and her son Preston, both have cystic fibrosis, and with the help of a group of friends, are raising £7,000 to fund special physio vests to aide them both. The 205 Airway Clearance Vest is not available on the NHS yet offers life changing treatment for both Natalie and her young son, offering them improved lung function and potentially a longer lifespan.

Tickets are £15 for a three-course set menu and tickets are available from The Royal Bengal or by contacting Natalie on 07725 090511.
