Josie's Dragonfly Variety Show
 

Brightening the lives of children and young people living with cancer..........Josie's Dragonfly aims to provide a single Cash Gift of £500 to a child or young person where treatment is no longer considered curative. The money is for the child or young person to spend as they wish. The charity is the legacy of a very courageous young lady - Josie Madeline Grove. Steve is pictured below with Josie's mum, Jacqui.
 

"We were delighted to have Steve as our Compere & Host for the Josie's Dragonfly Variety Show. He pulled all the acts together with pure professionalism and natural ease. He had everyone in stitches with his humour and at the same time he was able to keep people focused on the reason for the event. Thanks to Steve we raised a substantial amount on the evening and I am sure his willingness to wear a ridiculous costume (a dragonfly suit) at our request added a good few pounds to the pot. It was great working with Steve and we have already had many comments from members of the audience who also thought he was absolutely fantastic. I would recommend him to anyone needing a host for their event and very much look forward to working with Steve in the very near future".

"I asked Steve to be our presenter for the Josie's dragonfly Variety Performance, on 13th March at The Theatre Royal Newcastle, he agreed immediately. Steve was the last piece of the jigsaw I needed, and he kept the show together brilliantly, filling in time whilst performers were changing or the set was being altered, with his wit and humour. Not letting anybody forget why they were there, to raise funds for children with cancer. He definitely helped make the evening entertaining, and run like clockwork, a true professional. We made a profit of £13,000, and with Steve taking on the roll of auctioneer, he definitely helped boost the funds. I have already booked him for next year"

Sue Lawrence; Fundraising Manager

The show raised in excess of £13,000. Much of the credit must go to show producer Sue Lawrence, who worked tirelessly to stage the show.

Thanks to Theatre Royal Chief Executive Philip Bernays, and the superb crew, who couldn't have been more helpful on the day.
