A KEIGHLEY businesswoman is once again staging free children's Christmas discos in the town following the success of a venture last year.
Laura Kelly is organising four events – at the Sue Belcher Centre on Friday (December 2), followed by the Good Shepherd Centre on December 9 and 16 and then Keighley Civic Centre on December 23.
"Last year I came up with the idea of the 'VIP' discos – VIP because children are very important people!" says Laura, owner of Fate & Fings Designs clothes shop.
"Sadly, with a very limited budget, I couldn't offer a place to all the children who asked to attend so this year I approached Keighley Town Council and was blown away by the response. I'd like to thank councillors Julie Adams, Allan Clark and Emanuele Bernardini for their tremendous £1,400 donation, which has enabled me to offer places to 400 children.
"I'd also like to thank the volunteers, without whom this wouldn't be possible, and Morrisons for a massive donation of sweets and biscuits."
Nominations for children to attend have closed, but Laura hopes to hold more discos throughout next year.
Anyone wishing to offer support can contact her at Fate & Fings Designs.
