CHILDREN from Newtown School, Trowbridge, raised £100 for the British Red Cross on Friday when they abandoned their school uniform for the day and dressed in red.
Youngsters at the school sported red clothing and they all gave a silver coin to the charity so they could dress up in brighter togs for the day and leave their usual uniform at home.
Teaching assistant and member of the Red Cross, Madeleine Donohoe, said: "It's lovely to see the children dressed in bright clothes and doing something for the charity.
"All we have asked from the children is to donate a silver coin today so they could dress in red."
Pupils wore Manchester United T-shirts, multicoloured sweatshirts and one girl even put red in her hair especially for the occasion.
All of the pupils at the school joined in the fun and proceeds from the day will go straight to the British Red Cross.
