“The latest fundraising event for Lisa’s fund took place at the Maltings Ely last Saturday when AC Motown came to town.These wonderful guys sang their way into the hearts of the capacity filled Maltings giving two great performances”, said Robert Barnes who launched Lisa’s Fund five years ago.
Everyone enjoyed the shows and went away wanting more, we actually raised £1,115.00 which will be going towards the New Hospice that will be opening its doors to patients in November. I have since been asked by many of those who attended the show when the next one would be. This is the forth Motown event Lisa’s fund have promoted and each time they seem to get better. During the evening Robert handed over another cheque to Dr Lynne Morgan CEO of The Arthur Rank Hospice Charity for £7,500. Lisa’s fund has now raised £137,000 for Charity.
“I would like to say a big thank you to Annabel at Burrows Books for selling so many tickets, to our front of house team, Jenny, Chris, Alison, Sarah and my son Matty. And to Nigel Thompson from Blueshed Studios who created an amazing light and sound set as well as Simon Marshall for his disco that kept everyone dancing, and to the Maltings team and management for allowing Lisa’s Fund to hold this event. I hope this great event has also been able to showcase the Maltings allowing the audience to see what a great venue we have in Ely”, said Robert.
