Citizens Advice Fundraising Event

A local charity, Citizens Advice Flintshire, is holding a fundraising event, raising money to provide free, confidential and impartial advice to the people of Flintshire.

The Outdoor Family Fun event aims to attract people of all ages with the main feature starring the late Olivia Newton John and John Travolta as star crossed lovers in the 50s inspired musical classic ‘Grease’.

Spokesperson for the event, Paul Bertrand, said: “We opted to make the admission price deliberately low, so parents could spend an evening out with the kids for very little outlay. Normally, you’d expect to pay upwards of £15 per ticket for an outdoor cinema event. We’re charging less than half that amount and what an ideal way to see out the summer holidays - on a hot August night with a song in your heart.”

As well as the main attraction, the advice charity will have BBQ food and a licensed bar. There’ll be fun games to join in and some stalls with local goods on offer.

Venue is Mold Rugby Club, Chester Road, Mold CH7 1UF. Free parking on site and open from 7 pm until 11 pm, Friday, August 26th. The movie will start at around 8 pm.

Bring your own blanket or camping chairs to sit on.

Should the weather take a turn for the worse, we’ll still be good to go, as the venue will simply switch indoors.

Advance tickets are available at £5 per adult and £1 per child (16 and under, accompanied by an adult)

Entry on the night will be £7.50 for adults and £1 per child, but not guaranteed, as we may reach our audience limit.

Citizens Advice Charity Aims:

Citizens Advice Flintshire is a local charity  providing free, independent, confidential and impartial advice to everyone on their rights and responsibilities. It values diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination.

Independence

The service provided by Citizens Advice Bureaux is completely independent. Bureaux are therefore able to offer impartial advice to all clients and to take up any issue with the appropriate authority on behalf of individuals or groups.

Impartiality

The service provided by Citizens Advice Bureaux is impartial. It is open to everybody, irrespective of ability, age, gender, gender identity, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation and social or economic status. Advice and help will be given on any subject without any preconceived attitude on the part of the bureau.

Confidentiality

Citizens Advice offer confidentiality to enquirers. Nothing learned by a bureau from enquirers, including the reason for their visits, will be passed on to anyone outside the service without their express permission.

Free

Services are provided free to clients at the point of delivery. Each Citizens Advice office is responsible for operating within the principles of the service and protecting the Citizens Advice brand. At the same time it is also recognised that we all need room for innovation without deterring people from seeking advice for fear of the cost.

Mission Statement

Our vision is that Citizens Advice Flintshire, through advice and campaigning, will help to create a fairer Flintshire where people are empowered, treated equally and have their rights respected.
