PORTSMOUTH Philharmonic is staging a concert in aid of a charity for a rare condition affecting the brain and spine.

The concert, postponed from March, will take place on Saturday, June 25 at the Church of the Resurrection, Penrhyn Road, Drayton, starting at 7.30pm.

The concert is in aid of Cavernoma Alliance UK (CAUK).

A cavernoma is made up of abnormal blood vessels and can be found in the brain and/or spinal cord. Although one person in 600, in the UK, has a brain cavernoma without symptoms, about one in 400,000 with cavernoma can suffer haemorrhages, seizures, headaches and other neurological problems such as dizziness, slurred speech, double vision and tremors.
