A new five piece girl band is expected to make an appearance at a tea party in aid of a children’s charity.

Dolled Up will be at Demelza Hospice Care for Children, Rook Lane, Bobbing, on Friday to show their support for the fundraiser in aid of its Go Dotty appeal.

Rob Wills, kmfm breakfast presenter, will host the event.

Entry is a minimum donation of £10 with every penny going towards the upkeep of the hospice.

As well as live entertainment and games there will be prizes for the dottiest costume, a cake competition and there will, of course, be tea, cakes and refreshments. Dotty the mascot will also be making a special guest appearance.

To help boost funds further, visitors will also be invited to drop their loose change in to various collection buckets.

The event, which starts at 3.30pm, will mark the end of a series of get-togethers which have been held across Kent over the past 10 days.

Natalie Tegg, Demelza’s head of partnerships, said: “Our Go Dotty for Demelza campaign is back for 2013 but we need your help to make it bigger and better than last year. We hope you will join Demelza and kmfm at the tea party and do your bit for your local children’s hospice.

“Go Dotty is a fun way to support Demelza and it really does make such a difference to the work we can do with families across Kent.”

Last year more than 180 groups embraced the dots during Demelza’s fundraising week, raising enough funds to pay for two nurses.
