Primary seven pupils at the Bainsford school recently handed over a cheque for £6529.58 to SCIAF.
Each year the school’s P7 pupils plan, organise and run events to raise money for the charity, which works with those in the world's poorest places to end poverty, protect the environment, and help people recover from disaster.

A spokesperson for the school said: “The children and their families have shown great commitment and compassion for their brothers and sisters around the world and the money raised provides a hand-up to those who are facing hunger, poverty and the impacts of war and conflicts.”
