The money was presented by Reiko Parkra, a lower sixth pupil.

Mr Diggles said “The donation was fantastic and will make a great difference to those who are homeless in Bassetlaw.

“It will allow us to provide hot drinks and food for those who have been sleeping rough, to get them into the warm and out of this freezing weather.

“And it will help us to help them to begin to change their lifestyle and on to the journey back to normality, away from chaos.
