Wolverhampton Grand in money and ticket donation to charity
Thousands of pounds and nearly 100 tickets to see the pantomime at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre have been donated to a charity.
The Haven, based in Wolverhampton, originally received the donation of 80 tickets from the Grand Theatre, so that women and children the charity supports could see the pantomime free of charge.
They also held a week long bucket collection, where members of the public donated £1,023 to the charity, with a donation added by the Steve Bull Foundation bringing the total to £2,000.
The women and children enjoyed performances during the last week of Aladdin, starring Lisa Riley, Joe McElderry and Britain's Got Talent finalist Lucy Kay.
Jade Secker, Senior Community Fundraiser at The Haven, said: "They absolutely loved the pantomime.
"For some of our women and children it was their first visit to the theatre and a real chance to spend some positive quality time together.
"The mums loved it as much as the children did and they are all really thankful for the donation."
