Charity hosting online fun for birthday
A charity for disabled children is holding a celebration online to mark 30 years.
Newlife, which has a branch in Market Drayton, is inviting people to watch a live streamed event on Saturday. The celebration will be live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube, between 5.30pm and 7.30pm.
It will feature a variety of performances from a range of talented acts for everyone to enjoy, with actor Will Mellor, of Coronation Street, Hollyoaks and Broadchurch fame, hosting the event and introducing singers, a comedian and poetry from Birmingham’s Poet Laureate Casey Bailey.
Acts will also include Cannock singer Georgia Bray who wowed audiences on Olly Murr’s team on The Voice in 2019, while singer and songwriter Chelsea Williams will be dialling in from Los Angeles to showcase her folksy/Americana style songs.
The night will also see the launch of the Makers charity raffle, with tickets priced at £2 each or £5 for a strip.
Each £30 donation made to Newlife on Saturday and Sunday will automatically enter you into the Makers raffle, as well as the big brand raffle and the annual autumn raffle scheduled for later this year.
CEO Sheila Brown co-founded the charity after struggling to get the disability equipment she needed for her own disabled children, and she wanted to help other families in crisis too.
