Sponsor your child for each good deed and help us to support the children at Rainbows. Order your pack online at www.rainbows.co.uk/do20
Support Rainbows by doing 20 good deeds Youngsters in the East Midlands can support children and young people at Rainbows Hospice by taking on 20 good deeds this summer holidays. Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People has launched its Do 20 for 20 campaign to coincide with its 20th birthday celebrations this year. Throughout the summer, children are encouraged to raise vital funds by doing 20 good deeds in return for a donation from their family. Every time a good deed is carried out, a sticker is earned for children to complete a challenge sticker sheet. Paula North, Rainbows community fundraiser, said: “This is a great way for youngsters to get involved and support Rainbows, as well as helping out at home and keeping entertained over the summer. There are lots of things they could do such as going without something, cleaning, selling things or gardening or they may have plenty of their own ideas. “People can donate whatever they think the deed is worth and everything raised goes towards supporting the work of the hospice, which is the only hospice for children and young people with terminal and life-limiting illnesses in the East Midlands. Raising ÂŁ10 would pay for an hour’s worth of care, ÂŁ20 would fund one hour of physiotherapy and an hour of external bereavement support would cost ÂŁ50. “It would be great to have the support of youngsters in the East Midlands, especially in what is such an important year for us.â€?

Family & Children’s Activities New Youth Theatre is extremely excited to announce
We perform 3 shows a year! To be performed at the Palace Theatre (Mansfield Centre) Rehearsals held in Mansfield
that their next senior production will be “Hairspray”. New Youth Theatre is the first group in the area to have been granted permission to perform this musical on a professional theatre stage. Rehearsals will begin in September 2014 and show will be staged at the Palace Theatre Mansfield on the 17th & 18th November 2014.
It’s 1962 and Tracy Turnblad is obsessed with The Corny Collins Show and one of its dancers, Link Larkin. Though rejected by producer Belma Vom Tussle at auditions, when Tracey shows off some moves at the Sophomore Hop, Corny Collins gives her a place on the show. Tracey is soon launched to stardom, but can't stand that the show won't allow integration and does everything in her power to make it happen. The dynamic, toe-tapping ’60s pop-score has an unbridled joy that is infectious, making it impossible to leave the theatre without a smile. Songs like “Welcome to the ’60s,” “Run and Tell That,” and “You Can’t Stop The Beat,” capture the optimism and energy of the times. While the show is rife with daffy, lovable humour, Hairspray is also a story about love, respect and acceptance. The New Youth Theatre concept is simple. Children between the ages of 3-17 years are taught how to develop and improve their performing arts skills whilst rehearsing for a fully staged musical each term. Taster Sessions are being held on Saturday 23rd August 2014. To join the energetic cast in this and future productions call:
01623 406284
Rehearsals held in Mansfield, Kirkbyin-Ashfield, Bestwood Village or West Bridgford To be performed at the Bonington Theatre Arnold (all centres)
