The event was organised by Nottinghamshire County Council's Youth Support Service Team in Bassetlaw, with support from the County Youth Arts Team.  Staff at the Circle Arts Centre were also very supportive in helping to make the event happen and to make it a success.

Local businesses supported the event by donating raffle prizes and refreshments. Many thanks to all the businesses involved.

The event was a huge success with approximately £1,300 being raised overall.  This was made up of sponsorship money from the performers, a majority percentage of ticket sales, a raffle and the proceeds of a collection bucket.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all the Young People for all their hard work and for putting on an amazing show, and to all who came along to support the event on the night.
