It’s been a decade since one woman made the brave decision to address the elephant in the room and conceive the inaugural White Elephant Ball. The event has been bringing a voice to those struggling with ill mental health in the New England North West region of NSW ever since. This year, the committee will be taking the event back to its roots to celebrate the 10th anniversary with a formal black tie ball at the Tamworth Town Hall. Guests will enjoy a three-course meal courtesy of Sally Clifton from Pronto Catering, music from Newcastle band Phonic, and a live and silent auction to raise further funds for batyr. So start gathering your herd, this wonderful event will be held on Saturday 19 October at the Tamworth Town Hall.
