YOUNGSTERS at a West Dorset school are in for a fun-filled day thanks to a children’s charity.

Travelling theatre company M&M Productions will be visiting Mountjoy School in Beaminster to perform Cinderella.

The visit is all down to Happy Days, a national charity which provides day trips, holidays and treats to children with special needs.

Happy Days community fundraiser Suffia Shah 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 fundraisers. 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.”
