R&N go to the Panto

We are delighted to let you know that our outing to the theatre on 14th January was a great success and we were able to take 25 children to see the Pantomime at Norwich Theatre Royal. The seats were offered to children through Nelson's Journey, a local Charity dedicated to supporting children in Norfolk who have experienced the death of a close family member or friend.

With the brilliant help of the Theatre Royal staff we were able to make it a really special event as the children were treated to a back stage tour and had their own tea party before enthusiastically enjoying the Panto!

The whole event was a great exercise in how a little effort and some well directed funds can bring so much enjoyment to children in real need of a lift at a very vulnerable time in their lives. We will certainly consider repeating the event next year as a result of this experience. More information about Nelson's Journey can be obtained from http://www.nelsonsjourney.org.uk.
