A TALENTED group of dancers is holding a special gala performance to raise money for disabled children.

The Dance Factory, based in Feniscowles, Blackburn, recently showed off their skills and scooped a series of prizes at a regional dance competition in Blackpool. Now the prize-winning performers will be entertaining crowds to raise money for disabled children.

Half the proceeds of the event will go towards the Whizz Kidz organisation, who supply children with wheel chairs. The other half will go towards helping the Lammack County School on Lammack Road, Blackburn, which has recently undergone changes to make the school more accessible to disabled children.

The gala is being held on Saturday, November 24, and Saturday, December 1, from 7.30pm, at the Westholme School Theatre, Meins Road, Blackburn. Tickets are available on the door.
