The Majestic Theatre in Darlington is pleased to announce it has teamed up again with national charity Cash for Kids.
On Sunday 16 December, the Majestic is throwing open its doors for a charity performance of the pantomime Peter Pan. Working in conjunction with Cash for Kids it has given away all the tickets for the performance to children and families in the local area who come from disadvantaged backgrounds to make sure they have a Christmas they can truly remember.
Hayley Thompson, Director of the Majestic commented We have had a fabulous response from the people of Darlington since we opened in July, so this is our way of giving something back to the community
The Majestic runs a Stage School on a Saturday, and the children are appearing in Peter Pan. Collette Howe’s son Kai (9) is appearing in the show, she said It’s nerve racking but also very exciting that he has the opportunity to do it, because he is getting to do Peter Pan with all his friends at stage school
Cash for Kids is currently running its annual Mission Christmas Appeal – The largest annual Christmas toy appeal in the UK.
In 2017 the appeal generated upwards of £2 million in gifts and donations which were distributed to more than 47,000 disadvantaged kids across the North East.
With 1 in 4 children across the North East living in poverty this December, for many families Christmas is simply a luxury they can’t afford. This year’s Mission Christmas aims to beat last year’s fundraising total and help make sure it can help as many children as possible.
If you’d like to donate to support Mission Christmas you can contact the charity on www.tfmradio.co.uk/cashforkids or by texting HAPPY to 70808 to donate £5
