Happy House was thrilled to be chosen as one of two charities to benefit from the latest production by Thornton Cleveleys Windmill Players.
And on Saturday, Elizabeth Gomm joined a sold-out audience for the final night of Alan Ayckbourne's Joking Apart.
At the end of the interval she was invited on stage to receive a cheque for £125 from the company's business manager, David Baxter, and also to say a few words about the work of our founder Sue Hayward and our Happy House.
As is the Players tradition, the director of each production gets to choose which charities should benefit.
We are grateful to Colin Johnston, who directed Joking Apart, for selecting Happy House and Blackpool's Grand Theatre Trust as his charities.
We will also be receiving £98 from the sales of beautiful cards and embroidered goods made and sold by Player, Paul Cunby.
Our thanks to Colin, Paul, and to all the Players for your support. It means so much.
Thanks also to the gentleman in the audience who gave Elizabeth £20 for the charity as she was leaving, which brings the total to £243 - fantastic!
