Story
There was a little less laughter in the world when Roy Hudd died in 2020.
He brought so much pleasure, to so many of all ages through his work as a performer.
Throughout his 64 year career he never forgot his roots and how hard times had been for him and his gran, (who never complained) as a boy growing up in Croydon.
He always wanted to do something for those who, for whatever reason, needed a little help. Not only did he donate to many charities, the likes of Barnardo's, Shelter, Cancer UK, and The Dog Trust, to name but a few. But he gave what I think was his most treasured asset, his time.
Whether it be putting on a show or turning up to an event to help raise funds. He would always say, "We're privileged to be doing a job we love, if we can use it to help others, well that's marvelous".
He gave joy to others all his working life, so I would love us to be able to show our appreciation for a kind, generous and talented man by raising money for a statue of Roy in Bronze. Not high up on a pedestal, that certainly wasn't Roy, he’ll be sitting on a bench where you can join him for your interval ice cream or gin and tonic, hopefully at The Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds, a theatre he loved, greeting new audiences for years to come.
Thank you,
Debbie

8 days agoThe charismatic "Tom Carradine" & his 5 piece band "The China Plates" will be performing his Cockney Sing-A-Long Feat, Tues July 30th & Wed July 31st at 7.30pm. He very kindly asked the managment if we could have a bucket collection for the Statue Appeal. So, I along with some friends will be rattling our buckets, and having a fabulous evening of entertainment. See you there. X

16 days agoHi everyone, Thing's have slowed down recently donation wise, but I'd like to say a big thank you to the people who, for various reasons were unable to donate before, but have now, it's very much appreciated. Trying to think of different ways to reach the target can be hard, I'm selling some bits from Roy's collection on ebay, all proceeds to the appeal, so please have a look. I wish you all a great summer - when it arrives! Bye for now. Dx

1 month agoThe sun is shinnig & hopefully soon on the statue of Roy to. 70K has been raised so far - incredible! Unfortunately we still need another 30K. Please keep spreading the word. I know I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but I'm still coming across people who didn't know anything about it. I will do all I can my end & if you can keep it alive your end, it won't be long before we hit the golden (or should I say bronze) target. Nag your friends to let the moths out of their wallets, every donation is a step closer. We are nearly there! x
