PUPILS from Mount Kelly Prep were delighted to welcome to their recent assembly Barrie Galley from Water Aid and Judy Pride from Children's Hospice South West.

They proudly presented both charities with a cheque for £433 and Barrie and Judy each took a moment to tell the children how their contributions would help their charities help those in need.

Last term, the pupils on the Mount Kelly Prep charity committee decided to support both charities and arranged a huge fundraising day on March 13.

Each year group was challenged to collect small change as well as make a donation of £1 in return for attending in in their pyjamas or onesies.

The children then hosted a vintage tea party for parents and family at the end of the day, along with a toy and book sale.

In total their fundraising efforts raised an impressive £866, enabling the pupils to present a cheque for £433 to each of their two chosen charities.
