Young Lancaster sisters to put on live Facebook show to raise money for NHS

Mia and Isabella Buccelli decided to create their own show after seeing reports on TV about the shortage of protective equipment for doctors and nurses.

The concert will be 20 to 30 minutes of a mixed performance of dances, songs and poems, and will be shown via a Facebook page on Sunday afternoon.

Mia, eight, and six-year-old Isabella, live in Galgate with mum Nicola, dad Bruno and brother Luca, two.

They go to Cawthorne's Endowed School, Abbeystead,and also enjoy dancing at Turning Point dance school and doing gymnastics with City of Lancaster.

"The idea of the concert came about after watching the news," Bruno said. "They were sad the nurses and doctors were running out of masks and gowns and they wanted to help by raising money to buy more equipment for them.

"We have created for them a Facebook group called “Mia & Isabella’s NHS” concert and a fundraising page on JustGiving.com called “Mia and Isabella NHS concert” for people to donate money in aid of the Bay Hospitals Charity."

The girls had hoped to raise £60 but after only one day had already raised nearly £400!

Anyone who would like to donate and watch their performance, which is at 2pm on Sunday April 26, can donate via the JustGiving page and then request to access the Facebook page to watch their live show.
