Children who might shine onstage or behind the scenes can benefit from a group's help.

Razzamatazz theatre group, in Southgate, is welcoming children who are looking to learn new skills with two children being sponsored for a whole year free of charge.

The scheme, set up by Kallikids Sponsored child, will see 85 young people across the county benefit from the scheme, which offers opportunities to take part in one of a range of activities for free for a whole year.

KalliKids founder Karen Bach said: “Inspiring young people to take part in new activities is pivotal to everything we do. Not only does it further their skills but also helps nurture their confidence and social skills.

“I would encourage families to take a look at the sponsorships on offer. It doesn’t cost anything to look. It doesn’t cost anything to apply. And if successful it doesn’t cost anything to take part.”
