Strictly Fab-U-LOROS will raise funds for the charity's continued work in caring for people suffering from cancer and other terminal illnesses.

Inspired by the BBC'S Strictly Come Dancing, LOROS is calling on businesses and sports clubs in a particular search for men to join the event.

Free weekly Ballroom and Latin lessons began this week at the hospice in Groby Road, Leicester. Paul Sharman, from Sharman Dancing, and Colin Painter, from City Dance Club, are running the sessions every Monday and Tuesday, from 7pm.

The grand finale will be held at The Peepul Centre, Belgrave, on Friday, April 11.

Couples are asked to raise a minimum sponsorship of £200 per couple – partners will be found for individuals – and sell a minimum of 20 tickets for the grand finale. Call LOROS on 0116 231 3771 or e-mail fundraising@loros.co.uk
