SUPPORTERS have helped raise £460 for Black House after £2,500 was stolen from a New Year event.

Speaking to the Cambrian News last month, organiser Kirk Holland said he had been left “flabbergasted” by the outpouring of support after £2,000 of ticket money was stolen.

Mr Holland said: “I really appreciate the support, it has been amazing — some people have donated £100.

“I’m flabbergasted. People have been great and that’s why I wouldn’t want this to spell the end of Black House.

“People have turned up at my door and given me £10 notes; I have never experienced anything like it.

“That has restored my faith in humanity to be honest."
