Stars of the Rochdale based TV drama Waterloo Road are backing ‘Be Seen in Green Day’ in support of the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital charity.
The stars, Jason Done, Rebecca Ryan and George Sampson, donned green wigs to launch Ryman’s Be Seen in Green Day, which is a fundraiser for schools that takes place in November and asks pupils to make a small donation to the charity in return for being able to wear something green to school.
Schools that register for the event sponsored by Ryman before 14 October will be entered into an exclusive prize draw in which four winning schools will be visited by the cast members of Waterloo Road, who will take part in a question and answer session.
Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital charity patron Jason Done, said: “Be Seen in Green is a great way for school children to get involved with the charity. I’m sure the children will have lots of fun finding green clothes to wear like a sock or bobble, some may even want to put on a silly green wig like us.”
Charity Chairman, Maurice Watkins, said: “I hope a lot of schools sign up for our event. For just a small donation schoolchildren can have lots of fun while making a big difference to the lives of the young patients at the hospital.”
To register your school for the event call the charity office on 0161 276 4522 or visit http://www.rmchcharity.org.uk/event/86/be-seen-in-green-.php
