DISABLED theatre group members are taking part in a sponsored swim to help fund their activities.

Members of Acting Up will swim half-a-mile each at the Aspire Centre in Wood Lane, Stanmore, tomorrow (Friday).

They are Katrina Morrison, Gabrielle Russell, Ian Fincham, Matthew Snell, Ludmilla, Emma Harrington and Kelly Stevens.

Shirley Wright from Barclays is also taking part and the bank is matching the money raised with a donation. Proceeds will go to Herts Inclusive Theatre in Bushey, which runs Acting Up in Harrow on Thursday afternoons.

The group’s producer, Emma Harrington said: “This is the first year we have done this. We are hoping it will be a success and we can do it again next year.

“It’s a great thing to do to get our adult group members taking part in a challenge.”

The swim is from noon to 2pm. For more information, visit www.hit-theatre.org.uk.
