A charity that helps people with autism is glad it got the HuMP when it collected a donation earlier this month.
The Hurst Morris People presented £290 to the National Autistic Society at a rehearsal for its forthcoming Mummers play, being staged to mark St George’s Day.
The donation was given to the charity’s fundraising officer, Jo Redhead, at Hurst Village Hall on Saturday, March 15.
The charity was nominated by HuMP member Jason Yannacopoulos, 28, who is autistic. The NAS advised him about applying for jobs after he completed his Master’s degree. He is now works part-time, training support workers for disabled people and also auditing accommodation for disabled people.
Sue Corcoran, from HuMP, said: “We raised it through charity collection when we danced last year and at raffles and a barn dance.”
HuMP will perform its Mummers play, written by Nic, at the Castle Inn in Hurst on Thursday, April 23 from 7.45pm.
