Pupils at Bonar Bridge Primary School wear red and donate change for Red Nose Day

There was a lot of counting of coins going on in one central Sutherland primary school earlier this month!

Pupils at Bonar Bridge Primary School were invited to wear red and bring in loose change to mark Red Nose Day on Friday, March 21.

Red Nose Day is Comic Relief’s annual fundraising event in March which encourages people to have fun and raise money at the same time.

Comic Relief uses the money raised from Red Nose Day to fund projects in the UK and around the world that tackle issues such as poverty, ill health and lack of opportunity.

A large amount of coins were donated which when tallied up totalled £113 which will go to Comic Relief.

The youngsters then had great time arranging the coins in a circular pattern.
