STEPS Pathways Charity

💛 A huge thank you to Leskes Jewellers for generously sponsoring our Golden Egg Draw at the STEPS Grand Winter Ball! 💛

Guests had the chance to purchase a golden egg, with every egg containing a surprise prize. From coffee and dinner vouchers to gifts and merchandise, there was something for everyone. But one very lucky winner went home sparkling as one golden egg held a stunning diamond necklace generously donated by Leskes Jewellers! 💎

Thank you, Leskes Jewellers, for helping make the night even more memorable and supporting STEPS Pathways College 🥚✨
