Some 24 dancers aged between six and 15, from Leamington and Warwick Academy of Dance and from Pointe The Way Ballet School in Solihull, used the medium of dance to narrate the story of The Night Before Christmas – but with a difference.

It is hoped the video, which airs in its entirety for the first time tomorrow (Wednesday), will even surpass the success of last year’s, The Dance of the Foodbank Fairies, which raised £22k.

This time the Fairies are trying to fend off Hunger in the guise of ninjas who are trying to steal the food.
