With no formal stage production knowledge, Karen and her team managed to put on a fantastic show that was watched by over 300 people and managed to raise in excess of £1,800 for The William Harvey Hospital Padua Children's Ward in Ashford, Kent.

This production involved some 40 children and was supported by The Shepway Volunteer Centre Youth Challenge Project which organises activities for young children.
