A Stourbridge entertainment business badly hit by Covid are launching their first book – and proceeds will help a local charity.

Funtime Theatre’s book “Fairy Flo has the Christmas glow” is launched this Friday at Mary Stevens Hospice.

During lockdown the company have continued to work for the hospice and 50p of every book sale will go directly to support patient care there.

Theatre Director Will Phillips said: “The illustrations have kindly been done by one of our wonderful supporters who noticed how much COVID-19 affected us a business and wanted to help! The same with the writing.

“We are overjoyed to have received so much help during such a difficult time for a small local entertainment business based in Stourbridge.”

The book costs £4.99.
