A group of friends have organised a charity event to raise cash for the Leukaemia Trust.

It will include raffles, music by DJ Legend, waxing and a buffet on the evening of December 8 at the Beckton Arms in Canning Town.

The evening has been organised by Canning Town mates Charlotte Kieran, 21 and Angel Jane, 22, in the memory of their friend James Jones who died from leukaemia two years ago. As he was a West Ham fan there will be a claret and blue theme. Tickets are �5 with all proceeds going to the Leukaemia Trust, starts 7pm.
