A group of 18 teenagers in Arnold have raised over £190 by putting on a Christmas party for local children and families.
The group from Stagewise Performing Arts Club, based in the town, have been planning their fundraising event since September.
The money raised will now be split between their chosen charities – Cancer Research and Arnold Food Bank.
Jo Jones, founder of Stagewise, said: “It’s really thrilling to see the young people put on this event themselves; learning to do everything from writing the risk assessment, planning the running order to doing the marketing and sourcing the raffle prizes.
“The event saw over 50 guests from the local community, and the teens put on a disco, performances, games for the kids, a photo booth, as well as a raffle, glitter tattoos and craft stalls amongst other things. We’re really proud of them.”
