Helen said: "Last year we raised money for a little lad with leukemia who was a Saturday morning regular but he sadly died last year.
"He was only three-years-old. His mum told us he loved going to the cinema while he was in the RVI in Newcastle, so we thought it would be a good charity to do it for."
The event with be on Saturday, May 6 from 10am until 3pm.
