West End show brings a welcome cash boost
A local group of musicians and singers performing music from the West End have raised £8,500 for their local adult hospice.
The Llandudno Show Players, who perform at Holy Trinity Church, Llandudno, have generously donated to the St David’s Hospice Bed Appeal helping the charity to finally reach their target.
The group, which meets every Wednesday from April to October for the last eighteen years, donates all the profits from their shows to charity.
Roger Gleave, Chairman of the Llandudno Show Players said: “It is an absolute pleasure to raise funds for St David’s Hospice. This donation is part of over £12,000 that we have given to local charities raised from last year’s performances. We are all very proud with our achievement.”
Last year, St David’s Hospice celebrated 15 years of opening its doors to the first patients and launched its ‘Buy a Bed Appeal’.
Communications Officer at St David’s Hospice, Marie Lidgett explains: “In 2014, we made a commitment to replace all the beds in our Inpatient unit. The local community have supported the appeal tremendously raising over £71,000, enabling us to buy ten specialist beds and profiling mattresses. It means so much to those for whom we care and their loved ones who will know that their friend or relative is as comfortable as possible during their stay with us at St David’s.”
