An international star helped raise more than £1,000 for a hospice after performing at a charity concert.

Singer and composer Dr Radhika Chopra charmed a crowd of 175 people as part of a fundraising event for St Luke’s Hospice, in Kenton.

The concert, which took place on October 20, was organised by the Islamic and Cultural Society of Harrow.

Sohail Anwar, the society’s social secretary, said: “St Luke’s has excellent facilities and is an excellent cause.

“It is without any hesitation that the committee agreed that an event should be organised for them.”

St Luke’s looks after people with cancer and other serious progressive illnesses, such as motor neurone disease and heart, lung and kidney failure.
