The NSPCC is a charity extremely close to our hearts and for the 10^th year running Phillip Stoner donated the main prize for the Hats on for Children event.

The event aims to raise funds and awareness for abused and vulnerable children and this year saw guest speaker Jenni Murray, of Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour and Newsnight, give an extremely entertaining and inspirational speech.

Phillip Stoner donated a stunning pendant featuring a 0.50ct, D-colour diamond, which was part of our exclusive Lila collection. We felt a piece from our Lila range was most appropriate as the collection was inspired by the birth of Phillip’s first grandchild.

The winner of the diamond pendant this year was Danielle Hurst of Leeds, who was absolutely thrilled with her prize. It was also lovely to meet last year’s winner again who was still wearing her pendant and came over to tell us how much she loved it!

Finally, to honour the contributions made by Phillip Stoner The Jeweller over the last decade, Managing Director Jonathan Stoner (Pictured with Gill Warwick the Community Fundraising Manager of Leeds and York area) was presented with a special award for Outstanding Contribution to the NSPCC. It was a wonderful surprise and made us all very proud!
