A pantomime version of Snow White starring Edward Davey as the eighth dwarf helped raise £3,000 for charity.
The St Paul’s Players in Hook put on the show last December, as well as production of That’s Entertainment in the summer, in aid of the Kingston Young Carers’ Network.
Cuts would be “a bitter pill to swallow”
Carers fear adult social care ‘will not be fit for purpose’ after £9.2m cuts
CARERS have expressed major concerns over cost-cutting which could see support slashed for 3,363 of the county’s disabled adults.
Lincolnshire County Council currently assesses 10,902 individuals using a four-tier system, with help provided for those with “critical”, “substantial” and “moderate” needs.
But as part of efforts to save more than £9.2 million from the £140 million adult social care budget, the authority wants to withdraw assistance for those in the “moderate” band.
