Learning disability charity Kisharon raised almost £1 million from its dinner at the London Hilton on Park Lane.
Introducing the appeal video, Kisharon School pupil Tali Rose, 12, told the 600 guests: “This is all about the things that matter to everyone at Kisharon. I want them to matter to you too.”
New chief executive Richard Franklin said his goal was to realise the full potential of the people Kisharon supports.
“I see a world where every person in this room will not think twice about employing a person with a learning disability.”
