A Havering-atte-Bower school has raised money in aid of a Havering hospice by hosting a Cuppa for Care event.
Dame Tipping Primary School managed to raise more than £210 for Saint Francis Hospice, an amount which will cover eight hours of care on the ward.
Saint Francis Hospice supports people with life-limiting illness across Havering, as well as their carers and family, completely free of charge.
The 97-pupil school called on parents and children to sell homemade cakes and bakes in return for a donation to the hospice.
Head of Dame Tipping primary school, Stephen Ley, said: “As a school, we really want to be part of the local community and Saint Francis is a charity which is a really prominent part of the village and Havering as a whole.
“The work they do fits really well with the school's core value of demonstrating 'heartfelt compassion', therefore we are proud to work with and support Saint Francis Hospice.”
