Cinema partners up with a new charity – MediCinema

The Abbeygate Cinema, in Bury St Edmunds, has a new charity partner.

It is MediCinema which builds, installs and runs state-of-the-art cinemas in hospitals and places of care, giving patients and their families the magic and joy of a night at the movies together. 

MediCinema brings the real benefits of cinematherapy to patients and their families throughout the UK, showing current releases so patients don’t have to miss out on seeing the latest blockbusters just because they are in hospital. 

MediCinema’s latest advert featuring Simon Pegg has been playing at the Abbeygate in recent weeks and gives a real insight into the organisation and the difference it can make.

Gareth Boggis, general manager at the cinema, in Hatter Street, said: “I’m delighted we’re partnering with MediCinema. It’s pioneering activity that really underlines the positive effect watching a film collectively can have on the mind, body and soul.”

Abbeygate customers can make a direct contribution online as part of the ticket booking process or make a standalone donation at www.abbeygatecinema.co.uk
