A Harlesden school's two-year fundraising drive to help displaced Syrian refugees got off to a flying start with a Christmas jumper day.
The day of festive fun in December at Newman Catholic College (NCC), in Harlesden Road, helped to raise £440 for an afterschool education programme based in Beirut, Lebanon.
The money will go towards creating a three-year higher education vocational and technical training programme based at the Dekwaneh Centre, South East Beirut, and the Ain El- Remmaneh Centre, South Beirut, and will also support disadvantaged Lebanese students.
