‘They do so much for us and we could not do without their support and we asked Clive Mantle, who is appearing in Aladdin, along to surprise everyone.’

The ‘Haveneers’, as they are known, were treated to mince pies and mulled wine.

Clive said: ‘It is a wonderful organisation and really worth everyone’s support.’
