Sailors Childrens Society is celebrating a record-breaking year for its flagship Sports Lunch Hull, which raised £108,893 after costs – the highest total in the event’s history.

The event brought together businesses, sponsors and supporters for an afternoon of entertainment and fundraising to support children and families from seafaring backgrounds facing some of life’s toughest challenges.
