ARTWORK by children at a hospice is being auctioned to raise money for charity.

The project, involving children from across the News Shopper area who use the Demelza hospice charity, has been set up to mark Children’s Hospice Week which runs from May 17 to May 22.

Children have designed their own artwork around the theme of heroes, some of which will be available for a silent bid auction.

Celebrities including pop stars Lily Allen and Robbie Williams have also produced works.

All money raised form the auctions will go to children's hospice across the UK, including Demelza.

The artwork can be viewed at thisismyhero.org.uk or by visiting the exhibition at The Gallery in Cork Street, London, during the week.
