Children, parents, carers and staff at a County Durham nursery have helped raise £300 for a cancer support charity.

Clever Clogs Day Nursery in Bowburn held a coffee morning, cake sale and raffle recently in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Local businesses including a gym, a butcher, a cafe and Hall Hill Farm gave their backing by donating git vouchers for prizes, while one parent who runs a restaurant donated a meal for two.

There were also prizes of bottles of wines, smellies, gift sets and sweets while the rooms were decorated in green and everyone wore something green for the day.

The fundraising funday was organised by nursery manager Vicky Harrison, deputy manager Jess Lowes and early years education Mia Carter, who sourced the majority of the prizes for the raffle.

Jess Lowes said: “The children really enjoyed all the fun of the day, especially being able to eat some of the lovely cakes on sale.

“The parents and local businesses were so supportive, and I think the fantastic prizes on offer in the raffle definitely helped with the fundraising efforts.

“We are delighted that our event has helped raise £300 for Macmillan Cancer Support, money which will help the charity continue to provide vital care to those who need it most.”
