	<title>The Spires cook up support for children’s helpline </title>
	<description>The Spires Serviced Suites in Aberdeen is organising a celebrity-led cooking challenge to raise vital funds for vulnerable children. 


‘Lets Cook at The Spires’ will be held on Thursday 4 June at The Spires, 531 Great Western Road, Aberdeen.  The event will run from 6pm to 9pm and hopes to raise over £1,000 for the NSPCC’s ChildLine service in Scotland.  


The event, supported by Aberdeen design agency, Rhino Ltd, will see ten teams put their culinary skills to the test as they compete in the ultimate cooking challenge.  There will be a selection of prizes on offer for the top-placed teams, including a 2-night luxury Spires stay for up to four people for each member of the winning team. 

 
Teams will also benefit from some expert celebrity support to keep them on track.  TV chefs Alan Coxon and Charita Jones will be on-hand to give advice and encouragement, before deciding which team will be crowned the challenge champions.  A number of other activities, including a wine tasting, will be on offer to guests throughout the evening. 

 
Tickets for Lets Cook at The Spires cost £100 for a team of three.  To take part, simply register your team by downloading a form here and returning by 22 May 2009.
