Singer, author and comedienne Joyce Shaw is to perform at Chilton and Windlestone Methodist Church.

The performer, from Consett, regularly raises money for cancer charities.

Proceeds from the show will be divided between the church and a charity of her choice.

The church is trying to raise £20,000 to carry out alteration work to improve disabled access to the building.

The concert will be held in the chapel on Saturday, at 7pm.

Anyone wishing to help with fundraising or make a donation can contact Ruth Owens on (01388) 720437.
