Headteacher Trish Grogan said: "We are so proud of the children who gave up their own time to sell badges to the rest of the school.

“We have talked to them about the vital work that Bury Hospice do for our community and how every penny counts when raising money for them."

St Michael's, on Ribble Drive, Whitefield, will be hosting a 'Reindeer Run' in December as a way of further raising funds for the hospice.
