CHILDREN at Sandford School and Nursery have raised as much as £100 for BBC Children in Need.

Pupils wore their favourite colour to school in exchange for a donation.

Established in 1980, BBC Children in Need funds “support for children and young people struggling with challenges caused by mental health, poverty, social inequality and family-related issues”.

Its annual live fundraising telethon will be broadcast at 7pm on BBC One tonight, Friday, November 14.
