On the 21st July 2018, The Friends of Shanklin Theatre were presented with a cheque for £180.00 from the manager at the Co-op store in Landguard Road.
Back in June this year, the Friends helped raise money for the Local Co-op Causes Initiative. Between the three causes over a period of seven days – Daisy Chains IW Children’s Charity – Rylstone Chalet Restoration and the Friends of Shanklin Theatre Window Restoration we managed to raise a magnificent £540.00! All the money raised was divided and donated to all three local causes.
Thank you to everyone that came and supported us, it’s really appreciated. Thanks also to our loyal band of volunteers that helped out with leaflets, membership and supporting this great cause.
Our grand total so far donated by Co-op customers and in store fundraising has now reached a staggering £2,132.02 and increasing all the time.
Best regards, Michael Beston.
