Children, parents and staff at Lyminster Primary School joined together in the fun-filled fundraising to help people affected by the devastating Nepal earthquakes.

The event last Thursday was masterminded by Annette Alderson-Long, a teaching assistant in year five, and the rest of year five worked with her to make it a huge success.

“I am absolutely thrilled,” said Annette.

“We raised an amazing £1,060 and we have worked out that this money will support 33 families with food, shelter and water for a month.”

The fête offered a whole range of activities, including a lucky dip, raffle, nail salon, tombola and Beat the Goalie.

There was also a spirited silent auction with many prizes, which were donated by local businesses, including Arundel Lido and Harbour Park.

Readers wishing to donate can text ‘DONATE’ to 70000 to give £5 to the Disasters Emergency Committee.
