A £9,000 cheque presented to us by Rhea Yeung, Manager of the Grove Theatre

Thank you, Cinderella!

…And an even bigger appreciation to the staff, cast and audience of the Grove Theatre in Dunstable during the recent pantomime season.

In the year 2022/2023 we have been the Dunstable Town Mayor, Councillor Liz Jones’ chosen charity. We were also delighted to be chosen as the charity of the year for the Grove Theatre. We couldn’t be more grateful (oh no we couldn’t!) to have been presented with this wonderful donation which will allow us to make a real and direct difference to our service users, who are struggling either emotionally, physically or mentally with the additional challenges that they face now and in the future.

The photo at the top of the page shows Rhea Yeung Manager of the Grove Theatre presented the cheque to Chief Executive Officer Melanie Hawman, attended by the ever supportive Mayor Liz Jones at our Mayfield Centre in Dunstable.
