Team Robin Donate to Island Charities

We met as Team Robin for one final time last night, to give away our proceeds from the pantomime - this is why we do what we do...and last night just cemented for all of us how worthwhile every ounce of hard work is that goes into our shows.

We are thrilled to announce that this year we are donating £8,025 split across seven Island charities and good causes, each so very worthy of support.

All from the proceeds of Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood, we are giving £2,200 to the IW Alzheimer Cafe, £2,000 to the IOW Food Bank, £1,000 to WightSAR, £1,000 to the IOW World Scout Jamboree Team, £1,000 to The COOK Project, £300 to the 1st Ryde Brownies, and £525 to Ben Rothwell.

To every single person who supported our 2019 pantomime, from all of us here at The Wight Strollers...thank-you, from the bottom of our hearts.

This brings our grand total over the last financial year to over £22,000 given away to Island charities from this pantomime and from last summer's Priscilla: Queen of the Desert - The Musical. We could not be more proud, or more grateful to the Island community for continuing to support us so that we can keep doing what we do.

Stay tuned for more news from us as the year progresses...and look out for us this summer at the Island's carnivals once again!
