December bucket collections raise over £10,000 for local charities

Two local charities, The Foyer Club and Yeovil District Hospital’s Breast Cancer Unit Appeal received cheques today totalling more than £10,000.

Proceeds from the annual bucket collection at The Octagon Theatre’s festive pantomime, along with the ticket income and bucket collection monies from the Christmas Carol Concert will help support two vital charities in Yeovil.

Arts & Entertainment Venues Manager, Adam Burgan, and Marketing Manager, Martin Hacker, were delighted to present the cheques to Donna from Yeovil Hospital Charity and Theresa from The Foyer Club. The amount raised in total was £10,378.26.

We are very grateful to our pantomime and Christmas Carol Concert patrons who gave so generously over the festive period to support these fantastic charities.
