Thanks Craig - good of you to highlight this scheme, we're really proud of it. Plus, hope you're enjoying the film!.
SO, buy a tkt (£7.50) @HOME_mcr they give you an option to donate £3. They DOUBLE that to £6 and every year they give 2000 free cinema tkts to folk who can’t afford it. That’s £10.50 in all from us. Still cheaper than most large chains. ALL. CINEMAS. SHOULD. DO. THIS
