The one and only Milly Johnson, award winning author and poet, will be guest speaker – back by popular demand – and there will be a special performance by Ben Taylor aka Yorkshire Prose poet, entertainment and fundraising to make this a packed and spectacular night to remember – one definitely not to be missed.
