Captain Fantastic, a children’s entertainment franchise, has donated £685 to the NSPCC after hosting community events, including in Pinner, Ruislip, and Uxbridge.
A spokesperson at the NSPCC said: “We’re so grateful you’ve chosen to help children by raising £685.00 on behalf of Captain Fantastic. You’re joining a movement of people who believe every child has a right to be safe. Your gift will help change children’s lives, helping fund our direct services protecting children. Your support is vital. We are around 80 per cent funded by public donations, so it’s only thanks to people like you that we can be here for children. Thank you. Together, we can protect children and prevent abuse.”
Tommy Balaam, founder and director of fun at Captain Fantastic, said: “We arranged a series of spook-tacular Halloween shows, touring ten local venues across the UK to bring our big Halloween party experience to as many children as possible, at a fraction of the cost of booking their own party. Plus it meant could make a donation to the NSPCC.”
The Halloween events included Dr. Zob’s Monster Academy, eerie experiments, the Roar-O-Meter, flying objects, bubbling potions, and a friendly Frankenstein. The tour visited Pinner, Ruislip, Uxbridge, and other locations including Winchester, Southampton, Birmingham, Gloucestershire, Brighton, Newcastle, Oxford, and Lincolnshire.
Tommy Balaam added: “We are also planning some fun, festive Christmas community events too so keep an eye on our website for more details.”
Captain Fantastic was founded more than ten years ago by Tommy Balaam. The franchise organises over 2,000 parties and events annually, entertaining 60,000 children across the country.
