One of our cast members from Bleak Expectations is running the Edinburgh Marathon in two weeks to raise money for Royston Foodbank and Royston & Villages SEN Lego Club.

Rumour has it Beth will be spending the run learning lines between water stations. If you spot someone handing out theatre flyers dressed in Victorian costume somewhere near mile 20... it’s probably her.

Please support her marathon challenge and these two fantastic charities if you can!

Iʼm raising money to Support 2 local charity groups. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.
