The charity is challenging groups to raise £100,000, to help keep the telephone helpline open for children and young people who find themselves in trouble or danger.

ChildLine is the only free 24-hour national telephone helpline for children and young people in trouble or danger. Up to 10,000 children try to contact the service every day, but lack of funds means that currently only 3,300 or so of these calls can be answered.

Tickets for the Line Dance at Leasowe Recreation Centre are £2.50, available from Fundraising Manager Jill Dodd on 638-6016.
