Children at Beaucroft Foundation Special School at Colehill have been able to enjoy a festive party all thanks to Variety The Children’s Charity.

On the last afternoon of term all their classes tuned into a live stream entertainment presented by Pete Matthews, the Crazy Juggler. The school, that educates children with learning difficulties and complex needs including Autistic Spectrum Disorder, has facilities for pupils aged from four to 19.

Joe Barnett, co-head teacher said, “A big thank you from everyone at Beaucroft to Frances and all at Variety The Children’s Charity for providing a Christmas treat. Pete the Juggler entertained the whole school via a live stream. He was, as always, very engaging and highly entertaining.”

Frances Cornelius, chairman of Variety Wessex, said, “Thank you Pete for putting on such a great show. It was enjoyed by everyone at Beaucroft. This couldn’t happen without the support of some wonderful sponsors and we are all so very grateful for the funding of this show by Shan and the Bournemouth Boys Club.”

Pete Matthews, who lives in Parley said, “I was delighted to be able to live stream this show at this difficult and strange time. I’ve always been a great supporter of Variety The Children’s Charity and the work they do, and I know the children that benefit from their hard work love the shows we get to do for them.”
