SNAPPY, the York charity that runs activities for people with learning difficulties, has held its pantomime.

It performed SNAPPY Ella and the Seven Dwarfs in the Shepherd Hall, in St Peter's School in the city.

All members of the charity helped to write the show, with any profits going to SNAPPY funds.

Project manager Anne Pemberton said: "A lot of work was put into this, and it really paid off. We had a really good day.

"Before the show, there was a coffee morning, with a raffle and a giving tree, where we are asked people to put presents under the tree that will later be given to the children.

"We are pleased there was a good turnout. They enjoyed a fun show and helped a really important cause at the same time."

Members of cash-strapped SNAPPY have made regular appeals for more help from the public with funding. If you can help, contact them on 01904 640562.
