Jack Hamilton, MD Parador Properties, the UK’s overseas property company, presented a cheque for £36,050 to Silent Witness star, Amanda Burton, on behalf of The Children’s Trust at their Tartan Ball, Cobham, Surrey, on 27 January.

Staff at Parador Properties raised the cash by digging deep into their pockets at their annual Christmas party. The company organised a raffle and an auction where a trip to Australia was sold for £6,000 and a signed album by Elvis raised £4,000. The company will be supporting the Children’s Trust as its charity of the year and already has events planned to raise further funds.
