P&P3 premiere will benefit abused children
Brenda Blethyn, who plays Mrs. Bennet in P&P3, has persuaded (tee-hee) the film’s distributors to donate the proceeds of the September 5 premiere at the London Odeon to Barnardo’s, a charity that benefits abused children.
Brenda said: “I have been a supporter of Barnardo’s and the vital work that it does for disadvantaged children for many years and I was determined that the funds raised from the premiere should go to the charity.
“The film is set in the sumptuous world of English country houses and genteel surroundings, and yet so many children in the UK are still living in poverty.
“I think it’s important that people remember this and that funds raised from the premier should help to give children in the UK a better start in life.”
Tickets for the premiere are available for £50.
