Children at an Ely school have something to celebrate after being gifted a theatre performance by Happy Days Children’s Charity.

The national charity helps local children with a variety of special needs with day trips and holidays.

Children from Highfield School will be treated to a performance of Dick Whittington when the M&M Productions travelling theatre company visits their school to give them a fantastic fun filled day next month.

Happy Days fund raising manager, Rob Cox, said: “We were able to support over 23,000 children and their families last year alone, but we couldn’t have done this without the amazing help of our volunteers and fund raisers.

“So we’d love to hear from anyone who would like to get involved and support our work.

“Our holidays, day trips, workshops and performances are a lifeline to children across the UK providing them with happiness and hope as well as important social and developmental skills.

“We help families caring for children with life-limiting conditions, disabilities, abused children and young carers and would encourage anyone in the area that would benefit from a respite break to get in touch.”
