YOUNG secret agents will be shaken and stirred as they dance the night away at a fundraising ball today.

The James Bond-themed event at the New Park showground in Brockenhurst is in support of Naomi House children's charity.

Organisers hope thousands of pounds will be raised when more than 300 guests arrive in their finest dinner jackets and ball gowns.

The dance for 13 to 17-year-olds is the third of its kind for Naomi House, near Winchester, which provides respite and terminal care for children and their families from across the south.

Organiser Juliet Nicholas said: "We hope it will help educate and raise awareness of the charity so the next generation know what it is all about. There will be a brief talk about the work that goes on there on the night."
