A restaurateur has pledged to raise £5,000 towards a cinema s fundraising appeal.
Until the end of August, Junior Poon, in Clevedon, will donate 100 per cent from the sale of gift vouchers, up to a maximum of £5,000 in support of the Curzon Cinema s #BringBackTheBalcony campaign.
The money raised will help pay for the Curzon’s historic balcony to be reopened 49 years after it was closed to the public.
The project will help put the charity in a stronger position to survive and recover from the devastating financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Clevedon restaurateur pledges £5K for Curzon balcony appeal
By Robin Askew, Wednesday Apr 14, 2021
As we wait to find out which cinemas have survived Lockdown 3 (the Odeon in Broadmead and Cineworld in Hengrove didn’t even reopen after Lockdown 1), there’s good news for the region’s oldest picture palace. To revive a phrase, supporters can now eat out to help out Clevedon’s historic Curzon cinema.
Local restaurateur Junior Poon (pictured above) has pledged 100% from the sale of gift vouchers, up to a maximum of £5,000, to the #BringBackTheBalcony appeal. The vouchers will have a special extended life of two years and be valid for spend on takeaways, in the restaurant and wine bar (when restrictions are lifted) or when dining al fresco.

Aliyah Muzamil, a single mother of two, was without electricity for three days and nights during Texas’s deep freeze last month. One night, the three of them slept in her car to keep warm. One day, they ran out of food.
“I left my kids with my neighbors and went to the
masjid to grab hot meals they were giving out,” said Muzamil, using the Arabic word for mosque. “I assumed not many people would be out because of the extreme cold.”
