HUNDREDS of Dartford pupils will be singing in a Christmas musical at The Orchard theatre to raise awareness of adoption issues.

Around 250 children from Fleetdown Primary School, Horton Kirby CE Primary School, Darenth Community Primary School and Dartford Bridge Community Primary will perform in The Orphan's Christmas Wish on November 24.

The show is produced by The Voice In A Million Choir, which campaigns for the need for more foster carers and adoptive parents.

Since launching two years ago, the choir has grown from 35 members to 20,000, has sold out arenas including The O2 in Greenwich and has even released an album.
