BBC JOURNALIST and Mastermind presenter John Humphrys will be the guest speaker at the Heathlands Village annual gala dinner, due to take place on January 28 at the home of Manchester United.

Tickets for the Old Trafford event, which includes a meal in the Manchester Suite, costs £75, with all proceeds going to the Heathlands Village Foundation Fund which cares for 200 residents with varying levels of dependency based at the village in Heathlands Drive, Prestwich.

A spokesman said: "Without fantastic events like these and without the support of our community, Heathlands would not be able to care for the elderly and frail."
