The Big Care Sign-Up Celebrity Charity Event returned to The Guildhall, Leicester on Sunday 19th April 2015.  We were raising money and awareness for The Carers Centre: Leicestershire and Rutland.

 

 

There was a great turn out for only our second event as over 300 people came through the doors to meet our celebrity guests and take part in our massive Charity Auction that had over 400 lots in it.

 

Those who came to Leicester's historic Guildhall were greeted by Cybermen, UNIT officers, a Judoon, an Ood, the Fourth Doctor and many more as Doctor Who characters old and new descended on our event.

 

The TARDIS materialised into the Great Hall and became a photo star all of its own. Our celebrity guests enjoyed themselves as they mingled with the attendees and signed autographs.

 

Fun was had by all as we raised money and awareness for a worthwhile and deserving charity. But don't take our word for it.  Take a look below at the photos taken by many of our friends.
