A Southampton dance school has delivered a cheque for £870 to a children’s day unit.
The Tori Caine School of Dancing, in Maybush, spent last year raising money through dance shows, competitions, tabletop sales and raffles for the John Atwell Unit at Southampton General Hospital.
Children and adults from the dance school pulled together for the cause which is close to their founder Tori Caine’s heart.
She said: “As a child Mr Atwell was my doctor. When I heard that they named the unit after him I decided to do as much as I could to help. We’re the only regular fundraiser for the unit and it’s important to me because any of the children from my dance school could find themselves passing through there for day surgery or childhood testing.”
