Motion text
That this House congratulates Ruth Favede on receiving the Behçet’s UK Members Award in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the charity; notes that what began as a one-off fundraising event to mark her 40th birthday in 2011, inspired by her sister Janet’s experience of Behçet’s, has expanded into an annual Charity Ladies’ Night, raising more than £20,000 over 15 years; recognises the commitment, enthusiasm and joy with which Ruth has brought together women from across the local community while raising vital funds for the charity and awareness of this rare and cruel condition; pays tribute to everyone who has organised, attended and donated to the event over the years; and wishes Ruth and all those involved every success with the 16th Charity Ladies’ Night in April 2027.
