PEOPLE will have the chance to show off their skills and help sick children at a talent show.

It is being organised by student nurse Sally Cudmore, who hopes to work at the new children's hospice unit in Eltham, to be opened soon by Demelza House Hospice.

All proceeds from the event will go to Demelza.

The show is being held in October at the Charlton Assembly Rooms, which is being donated free by Greenwich Council and the Friends of Charlton House.

Auditions began last week at the Bull's Head pub in Royal Parade, Chislehurst, which donated the room free.

Weekend auditions are being arranged.

The acts can include singing, dancing, comedy and acting. There is a £5 audition fee.

Judges for the event will include the Greenwich mayor, a child, a celebrity lookalike and theatre professionals.

If you would like to audition or offer prizes for the winners or the auction being held after the show, call Ms Cudmore on 07981 126205.
