A DRAMA group has been given a cash boost to help them out with one of their future productions.
Generous customers and staff at Margot's Hair Salon in Church Street, Shildon, held raffles and other events to raise money for Centre Stage.
Salon staff went to the Shildon drama group's rehearsals to present £100 and a new stage dress to members.
Salon manager Thelma Cook said: "We do about three raffles every year for different causes and we have very generous customers.
"We always choose a local cause and we would like to wish Centre Stage every success for the future.''
Donna Timmiss, of Centre Stage, said that the money would be used for the group's production of The Railway Children, which will open to coincide with the launch of the town's new railway museum.
She said: "We are very grateful to all at Margot's for this donation."
