IN our panto advert we asked you "to help us help children". Well, you did just that (oh, yes you did!). We would like to thank all the generous people who came to see the panto, and to our delight £1,000 was raised in the nightly bucket collections in aid of the St Martin House Children's Hospice.

This collection is in addition to our charity night donation to the Lord Mayor's chosen charities.
