Applause is a Leicestershire based Community Interest Company lending a hand to local charities.

Applause reunites the team that brought the "Somewhere Over The Ruby Rainbow" concerts to Theatres across Leicestershire, raising money to support the 2007 BBC Radio Leicester Ruby Rainbow appeal, helping to fund an extension at Rainbows, the East Midlands Children's hospice in Loughborough.

Applause is now helping to raise money for other Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland charities through another series of concerts in 2009, showcasing the talents of the finest singers, dancers and performers from our two counties.
