A group of local businesses from Torfaen have helped raise nearly £2,000 for the group Sustainable Woman.
Last month's Women in Business event raised £1,565 for the charity, with Barclays Bank giving a competitive sum to the money held by a raffle on the night.
More than 100 female entrepreneurs and business leaders attended the event at the Parkway Hotel, in Cwmbran.
The event organised by Torfaen Council's Business Engagement Team featured guest speakers, networking opportunities and a mini-Christmas market.
Kirsten Tuck, solicitor with Everett Tomlin Lloyd and Pratt, in Pontypool, said: "I've been to a number of these events, and they are always very enjoyable. I am really pleased they have started up again and it's been so nice to see so many new faces."
Among the speakers were Kelli Aspland and Laura Waters from Solar Buddies, based in Cwmbran, and former Eden Project Managing Director Gaynor Coley, from Cwmbran.
The following people helped make this possible: Jo Gauden, Active Member for the Economy, Skills and Development, and Kate Blewitt, from the council's business liaison team, to visit the charity offices in Pontypool to give them the latest news about the total.
A big well done to the girls!
