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

The event 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 the proceeds from the event will go to Demelza.

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

Auditions begin at the Bull's Head pub in Royal Parade, Chislehurst, which is also donating the room free, tomorrow afternoon. More weekend auditions are being arranged.

Acts can include singing, dancing, comedy and acting and there is a £5 audition fee which will go to the cause.

Judges for the event will include Greenwich's mayor and theatre professionals.

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