A group of dancers in Middlesbrough are hoping your Wish tokens will enable them to travel to the capital for a performance.
Johnson School of Dance, which is based at Southlands Leisure Centre, is a small, friendly-run dance school that teaches youngsters from the age of two upwards.
The school runs classes in tap, ballet, modern and jazz.
The qualified teachers pride themselves in nurturing the talents of the young boys and girls who love to sing and dance.
The dancers are then given the opportunity to take part in exams, shows and competitions.
Last year, the school entered The Gazette’s Wish campaign and used the support it received from readers to fund a trip away.
In the past, the group has used the money from previous Wish campaigns to go towards taking 22 of the youngsters to perform at Disneyland Paris in August this year.
The dance school described it as a magical experience for everyone involved.
Lynn Cook, of the dance school, said: “We have been invited to perform at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London in June 2015.
“We hope to use any Wish money to help fund this for our children and their families.”
Every year, The Gazette’s Wish campaign gives away thousands of pounds to not-for-profit groups and organisations benefiting the Teesside community.
Each registered group will be guaranteed a share of our £40,000 fund.
The more tokens a group collects, the bigger its share of the prize pot.
Tokens are now appearing daily in The Gazette. The last token will appear on January 21. Submissions for tokens will close at 5pm on Monday, February 23.
To help Johnson School of Dance, send your tokens to: 49 Rothesay Grove, Middlesbrough, TS7 0LF.
