KIND-HEARTED children at Bratton Primary School have been busy fundraising for less fortunate children.

Every class has been involved in raising £413 for National Children's Homes.

Janet Cartwright, youth fundraiser for Wiltshire schools, said: "They did very well. It is only a small school and to raise this amount is absolutely wonderful."

The charity provides seven game sheets, each on a different level depending on a child's age, which they can take home and work on.

The child gets sponsors to either make a donation or pay them for each right answer.

To encourage children all over the country to help in the charity's fundraising effort, a big cuddly dragon called Cedric visits them in school.

The charity helps more than 77,000 young, vulnerable people every year and their work in primary schools raises £1.5 million a year.
