SINGERS are being invited to take part in an open mic night to raise cash for The Costa Foundation Charity.

Staff from Coliseum Shopping Park's Costa Coffee outlet are inviting local musicians to The Bull's Head pub on Old Chester Road, Ellesmere Port to take part in the event on September 23 from 8pm.

The Costa Foundation Charity works to relieve poverty in more than 70 coffee growing areas across the world, providing education and enhancing health, gender and environmental issues.

Marketing manager at Coliseum Shopping Park Ameer Majidi said: “The Costa Foundation Charity is a brilliant organisation that really focusses on giving back to the communities that the coffee comes from.

“We’re thrilled that the staff at Costa will be hosting an open mic night for local talent. Something like this is a great way to fundraise and everyone can have a fantastic time for a good cause.

"We look forward to seeing the acts raising money for charity on Sunday 23 September.”

Coliseum’s Costa team has a whole schedule of fundraising events lined-up including a Twilight Walk along Chester Canal as well as the Wirral Coastal Walk, where people are invited to join in for a donation.

Lisa Owen, charity champion at Costa told the Globe: “When I became the charity champion for the Coliseum Costa I was looking forward to putting together some different events that people can really enjoy.

“We’re sure the night will be full of fun, music and laughter, and all for a great cause too.

"We look forward to seeing the acts perform and welcoming all their supporters."
