Schools raise money for Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice

Primary school children in South Yorkshire have raised £8,500 for Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice after using £100 donations to generate more.

Nine schools across Barnsley, Rotherham, Sheffield, Worksop and North Derbyshire took part in the fundraising scheme, sponsored by TSB, which provided the initial cash.

Mosborough Primary School raised more than any other school - £3,300.

Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice needs to raise £3 million a year to keep its doors open.
