An Abbots Langley charity dedicated to supporting people with learning disabilities has received a £1,000 cheque which it hopes to spend on days out and trips to the theatre.

The Monday Club based in the Abbots Langley Community Centre is pleased to have been presented with the donation by the Revue Variety Company - a Kings Langley amateur drama company.

The club will now spend its money on the general upkeep of the club and activities including yearly trips to the theatre, bowling outings, arts and craft events and supper.

John Fisher, chairman of the club, said: "Our members love the theatre and really enjoy themselves singing and dancing along. Only a few weeks ago we took 38 members and helpers to London to see the musical show We Will Rock You.

"If organisations didn’t make donations our ladies and gents wouldn’t get the chance to visit the theatre so we are really grateful to Revue Variety Company and would like to say a big thank you to them."
