Struggling arts charity gets mystery donation

An anonymous donor has given an arts charity £10,000 towards a fundraising campaign.

The Hive in Shrewsbury, a creative venue which runs projects across Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin, needs to raise £50,000 to cover rising costs and energy bills.

The BBC reports that Chief Executive Katie Jennings said funding had dried up, and the charity was seeing increasing demand for its services.

Jennings said the donation was "heartwarming" and had lifted spirits.
