So young and yet so poised - junior members of Basildon's Club Kingswood showed no nerves as they appeared in a glitzy fashion show to raise money for nearby St Luke's Hospice.

The show, featuring clothes for all ages, was punctuated by funky workout dance routines, ending with a Flashdance style finale.

The polished choreography was by instructor Carly Hall, who has a dance background, and fitness manager Natasha Gant, who has close theatre links.

The sell-out event raised more than £1,000 towards sponsorship needed for six Kingswood members to join a trek in Peru for the hospice later this year.
