Commuters will enjoy a day of live music headed by West End star Donovan Blackwood, Stars in their Eyes performer Jayme Ephraim and Technotronic Kee.

Other activities on the day will include staff in costume, Irish dancing, karaoke and two tombolas including one at Westminster station.

Jason Collins, Group Station Manager at Waterloo, said: "We are delighted with this year's fundraising programme to raise money for Help a London Child.

"Last year we raised for £9,084.48 for this worthy cause thanks to the generosity of the travelling public and are hoping to exceed £10,000 this year to help under privileged children in London.

"All members of staff here have been working hard together using individual skills to ensure that this fundraising day is a success."
