Our Fantastic Support


We would like to say a big thank you to Furness Cancer Support Group who kindly donated £500 to the St Mary's Hospice at Home service.

The Furness Breast Cancer Support Group aims to provide support for people whose lives have been affected by breast cancer including patients, carers, families, friends, the bereaved and anyone requiring information.

Not all problems are medical and some people don't always feel like talking to the doctor. It sometimes helps to share worries with someone who may have been through the same. The group sessions offer advice and support in a friendly environment so that people should not feel isolated or alone.

The ladies also work tirelessly to raise money for the charity and we greatly appreciate their support.

If you would like further information about the group meetings please contact Dorothy Dawes on 01229 822306 or Margaret Watkins on 01229 822470.

Therefore, if your ambition is to perform in front of a large audience, at a premium venue and experience the lights, the atmosphere and the excitement then you definitely need to audition. This will be your chance to showcase your talent to a large audience and possibly be spotted by industry experts and agents.

Talentspotters audition process gives hopefuls the opportunity to perform to a panel of experienced adjudicators. This will take place at the Coronation Hall on Sunday 22nd May. However, you must apply. For further information and to download entry forms then check out the website www.talent-spotters.co.uk

You will be allotted a time-slot so it is crucial you endeavour to showcase your best highlights. Only 10 -20 acts will be chosen for the Show.

Their experience includes working throughout the UK and Internationally producing and choreographing Theatre Headliner Shows, TV appearances, Cruise ships, and performing alongside Top names in the music and entertainment industry. All of this has put them in contact with an extensive amount of agents.

Also, you will be raising money for St Mary’s Hospice that may well be close to your heart. Talentspotters will be donating part of the proceeds to St Mary’s; therefore your performance will count in more ways than one.
