Members of dance group Diversity and choreographer to the stars, John Graham, are set to appear in the Born to Shine Roadshow in Speke, Liverpool next Thursday, 4th August.

Born to Shine is a major new entertainment series on ITV1 in collaboration with Save the Children, which will be broadcast on Sunday evenings at 8pm over six weeks in July and August. The first episode aired Sunday 17th July and included a performance from Diversity.

Giving the public a chance to get involved in Born to Shine and have a fun family day out, Save the Children is working with Morrisons to take the interactive Roadshow around the country. The Roadshow will be held outside the Morrisons store in Speke from 11am to 6pm.

Children taking part will have a chance to shine in their very own 30 minute masterclasses given by Ashton Russell & Nathan Ramsey from dance act Diversity and choreographer John Graham who has worked with Beyonce, Justin Bieber and Cheryl Cole.

There will be opportunities for everyone to get involved, support other local talent acts and have a photo taken with the stars, as well as the chance to win fantastic prizes.

Presented by Save the Children’s ambassador, Natasha Kaplinsky, ITV1’s Born to Shine sees talented youngsters mentor famous faces as they learn a new skill, from tap dancing, to rapping to playing a new musical instrument. Each week three famous names take to the stage and showcase their new skill to the nation, where they are critiqued by a panel of judges. The series will culminate in a fundraising extravaganza for Save the Children featuring live performances from the five finalists and their child mentors.

A message from the members of Diversity:
“Come down and join us on Thursday! We want to show every child out there to show that they are Born to Shine – we are hoping to tease out the dancer in you with a dance masterclass. Sadly not all children get the chance to fulfil their potential. We’re touring the UK with Save the Children because we reckon they’re right – all children can shine if they’re given the chance.”

Neil McCarthy, Store Manager at Morrisons in Speke said:
“It’s going to be a fun packed day and we want to see as many local kids along as possible. To have members of Diversity and John Graham perform at the store is amazing and we hope it will bring in the crowds and as much cash as possible for Save the Children’s brilliant work.”

Save the Children’s Chief Executive, Justin Forsyth, said:
“Our Born to Shine roadshows are a fantastic opportunity for the public to get involved with Save the Children and we are thrilled to be working alongside Morrisons to launch them. We believe that all children are born to shine and we know we’ll see some real talent shining through from across the UK over the next few weeks.

So many children around the world don’t get the chance to grow up and fulfil their potential. The celebrities and the child stars in Born to Shine have had that chance, and now they are generously using their talent to support our great cause, raising money to help save children’s lives in the world’s poorest countries and give children here in the UK a better start in life.”

ABOUT BORN TO SHINE
Born to Shine will raise money for Save the Children via public donations and voting revenue. Save the Children will also be asking the public to support Born to Shine by participating in fundraising challenges throughout the summer. All money raised will help save children’s lives in the world’s poorest countries and ensure children here in the UK get a better start in life.

Born to Shine will also feature a number of films showcasing Save the Children’s projects at home and overseas, bringing the reality of our life-saving work into the homes of the UK public. Presenter Natasha Kaplinsky will visit South Africa, the country of her father’s birth, to highlight Save the Children’s work with child headed households and AIDS orphans. Actress Dervla Kirwan visits Liberia to witness Save the Children’s work to ensure newborn survival and maternal care, whilst presenter Christ Tarrant will visit Kroo Bay in Sierra Leone to see first hand Save the Children’s battle against preventable childhood illnesses. Born to Shine will also highlight the growing food crisis in Kenya and Save the Children’s work helping the poorest children in the UK.

Born to Shine is supporting Save the Children’s No Child Born to Die campaign which launched in January of this year. At the heart of No Child Born to Die is the belief that all children, regardless of circumstance should have the opportunity to fulfil their potential and that every child is born to shine. The primetime ITV1 series has been inspired by No Child Born to Die and offers a great opportunity to engage the UK public in helping Save the Children reach its target of saving 15 million child lives by 2015.

Making bread is hard work, but it would be a lot easier if the lazy farmyard animals lent a hand!
