I thought I would use my blog to publicise a great piece of work which is being done by The Rotary Club of Skegness and staff at the Embassy Centre Skegness.

It is called The Golden Ticket.

After each performance at the Embassy Theatre  the Skegness Rotary Club has a charity collections. This is done discreetly as the audience leaves the theatre. This money is then used to provide theatre experiences for disadvantaged children within the area who would not normally be able to attend.

This simple, yet original idea came from Skegness District Rotarian, Margaret Taylor. It has been put into operation to great effect by Embassy Theatre Front Of House & Promotions Manager Pollyanne Trapmore-Shaw with the whole hearted support and effort of all the Embassy front of house team.

The Golden Ticket scheme is viewed by many as an industry role model.  In fact it is currently being piloted in other theatre and entertainment venues across the country including the Crucible in Sheffield.

If you would like  further information on how to access the scheme or would like to contribute towards it please contact Embassy Theatre Front Of House & Promotions Manager Pollyanne Trapmore-Shaw on 01754 897677 or by email Pollyanne.Trapmore-Shaw@e-lindsey.gov.uk

Well done to Skegness Rotary Club, the Embassy Centre Skegness and all those involved.

Another first for Skegness.

What an amazing town we live in.
