Charity event raises £30,000 to homeless and vulnerable veterans
A charity event raised £30,000 to support homeless and vulnerable veterans. The fundraiser, organised by Alabaré, took place at the Everyman Cinema and featured a talk by international author Damien Lewis. Lewis, known for his best-selling books on the military, spoke about the early missions of the SAS during the Second World War. The event was organised with the help of Handelsbanken and Trethowans, inviting people from across the community to attend. The audience was treated to stories about the daring Operation Postmaster, one of the earliest covert operations by the SAS.

Mr Lewis said: "Alabaré carry out vital work with the veteran's community across Britain, something that is very dear to my heart. "As someone who has myself been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, from my days as a war reporter, I understand the challenges all who have served on the front line face. "Alabaré endeavour to make the world a better place for all those who have sacrificed a great deal in defence of the freedoms we cherish today." The night also featured an auction led by John Axford, chairman of Woolley & Wallis and a familiar face from BBC's Antiques Roadshow. Auction items included a replica of Colonel Blair 'Paddy' Mayne's SAS medals, a bottle of SAS signature port and the chance to name a character in Lewis's next book. Alabaré CEO Andrew Lord said: "It was a fantastic evening with a truly inspirational speaker. "Damien brought to life the incredible bravery of the original SAS and reminded us of the sacrifices made. "We're deeply grateful to him, to our co-hosts Handelsbanken and Trethowans who brought invaluable support." The money raised will help Alabaré continue its work to provide housing, support, and care for veterans across their homes. Many of these veterans face challenges such as mental health issues, PTSD and homelessness after their military service.

Youngstown Playhouse to stage shows at a new downtown location
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — The Youngstown Playhouse can seat 450 people at its Glenwood Avenue Theater but next year, the playhouse will be staging shows at another location it's leasing. Youngstown Playhouse President John Cox walked down the main aisle of what was the Oakland Center for the Arts. 'We are getting ready for the playhouse to expand,' he said. Cox and the Playhouse have agreed to lease the theater from Ballet Western Reserve, the owners of the building. 'It just took two nonprofits getting together and talking. We all need to help each other,' Cox said. The plan is to do two to three shows a year starting in March of next year. One show Cox suggested would play well in the theater is 'The Shark Is Broken' — the story of how the movie Jaws was made. 'I want to utilize this place more so for the youth education portion. I mean, not only is running the playhouse but as a pediatrician, the education portion for the youth is really the bigger deal,' he Playhouse used the theater last summer to rehearse Beautiful: The Carol King story. It needs work — lighting, a sound system, a video wall and a good cleaning and painting. Cox is hoping to pay for it with grants and sponsorships. 'I've had two people reach out to me and say we'd like to help. We'd like to put some money down in the downtown. We like this idea,' Cox said. The theater is located on West Boardman Street downtown a block from City Hall in a building that long ago was the Elks Hall — but for the last 20 years has been owned by Ballet Western Reserve. The downtown location is what sold Cox on leasing the space. 'You go to Pittsburgh or New York, you see the lights and the flashing lights and there's stuff to do. It's the ambiance. The atmosphere. And I want to create that a little bit downtown,' Cox said. The working name for the theater is Playhouse Downtown but John Cox is hoping to sell the naming rights as a way to raise money.
