Budding ballerinas hopped, skipped and jumped for charity at an event last week.

Children aged between six months and six-years-old were sponsored to take part in the baby ballet “danceathon” at the Jack Silley Pavilion in the Stonards Hill Recreation Ground, Epping, on Wednesday (October 12).

Together with other events around the country, the event aimed to raise £100,000 for Tommy’s charity, which funds research into stillbirth, premature birth and miscarriages.
