Show business stars back the Royal Hippodrome Theatre (RHT), Eastbourne in their bid to secure a £25,000 grant from the Aviva Community Awards.
Cheryl Baker, formerly of Bucks Fizz who together with band mates recently performed at the RHT retweeted on Twitter the theatre’s plea for help and has contacted the theatre saying that she wholly supports what the Community Interest Company (CIC) are trying to do for the theatre and that its important that assets such as this are preserved.
If successful in their bid the CIC will use the money to prepare the paperwork for their £1.2million Heritage Lottery Bid which will see a restored facade, a lift, an education centre/studio and Heritage attraction.
Blake, who are patrons of the theatre have also retweeted the campaign and commented that they love performing at the RHT and that it needs public support. Other stars who have supported include Larry Lamb and Honor Blackman who made the RHT her last ever stage venue last year.
In order to reach the final cut the theatre has to attract public votes. Members of the public have 10 votes to use and they can use them all on the same project!
The Theatre now has over 3,700 votes in its category but it needs more.
