Mercy Ships supporters raise £145,000 as charity turns 40

Mercy Ships celebrated its 40th anniversary with a London ball attended by founders Don and Deyon Stephens.

The event — staged at a venue close to Trafalgar Square, attended by more than 300 supporters of the hospital ship charity and which generated £145,000 ($193,000) — was marked by a special message from UK Prime Minister Theresa May, who was attending the G7 summit in Canada at the time.
