Downham Market pupils hit the right note by raising hundreds for hospice charity

Pupils at a school in Downham have raised £477.44 for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH).

Before the end of the autumn term, the choir at Downham Preparatory School and Montessori Nursery took to the streets of Downham, Lynn and Swaffham carol singing in the area to raise money for the charity.

Headmaster Mark Jefferson said: “Our school choir is very proud to be raising money for this wonderful cause.

“EACH has been our chosen charity for many years now and the choir has a long association with the charity, having joined friends at St Edmundsbury Male Voice Choir for a joint concert back in February last year.”

Tina Burdett, EACH Norfolk fundraising manager for West Norfolk, said: “We’re delighted to be benefitting from the school’s fundraising and would like to say a big thank you to the school for supporting our continued care of children and young people with life-threatening conditions, and supporting their families.” Picture: SUBMITTED.
