It’s great seeing so many gifted young people pursuing their dreams by performing on stage, and I know we will be blown away yet again by how incredible the acts are. I am already so excited and I would encourage anyone who is interested to take part, you have nothing to lose!”

Kiran Dhanda, East Midlands Regional Manager of Crimestoppers, said “This event is not to be missed; I am delighted the charity is part of it and I can’t wait to see the young people of Leicester getting the chance to show off their skills in front of their friends, family and community. I also hope that Leicester’s Got Talent will raise awareness for the anonymous service that we at Crimestoppers provide, so people know that they can report crime to us without having to reveal their identity.”
