CHILDREN in Rhythm Time music classes across Redditch and Bromsgrove are raising money for a good cause this week by trying on hats.

Organisers at Rhythm Time, which runs music classes for children from birth to school age, asked children to wear a hat for their class, and make a donation to Birmingham Children’s Hospital Oncology Unit.

The idea is the franchise owner, Vicky Taramasco’s. She worked for some time as a paediatric oncology nurse at the hospital before starting up the classes.

She said: “The children have looked marvellous in their hats this week and we have had a great time seeing the many creations on display. l would like to thank everyone who has supported us and Birmingham Children’s Hospital.”
