HUNGERFORD school pupils raised a whopping £1,119.66 worth of funds in the last week of term for West Berkshire Youth Counselling Service Time to Talk.
The pupils at John O’Gaunt School also donated supplies and Christmas treats to West Berks Foodbank.
Debi Arden-Hunt, who co-ordinated the effort, said: “Our Christmas fundraisers normally focus on our own school Parent School Association (PSA) during the Hungerford Extravaganza and on hosting our annual community Christmas party for our older residents.
“But in this, no ordinary year, both were, of course, cancelled.”
