A group of women are putting on their dancing shoes in Shenstone to raise money for charity.

Louise Skidmore, Charlotte Trueman, Lisa Finnikin, Rebecca Barry and Julia Smith are embarking on a year-long fundraising push for Acorns Children’s Hospice.

They are taking part in a number of challenges, culminating in a trek along the Great Wall of China next year.

As part of their efforts they will be taking part in a 12 hour danceathon at the Cooper Rooms on Main Street in Shenstone from 11am on 18th May.

Charlotte said:

“We’re inviting people to join us for a day of dancing.

“We have activities arranged for many age groups, including a mini disco, kids disco, zumba, Latin, a tea dance and much more.

“There will even an appearance from the charity’s mascot Alex the Acorn.”
