Eight year old Megan Smith has raised £700 for Chapel Green School. Megan, from Wymondham, who attends the Old Buckingham based school for young people with complex educational needs, raised the money through a raffle at Wymondham Ex-Services Club in February.

Megan was able to get donations of prizes from local businesses and by baking cakes with her mother, Libby.

Receiving the cheque from Megan was teacher Catherine O’Neill.

Chapel Green School aims to provide a variety of challenges and experiences to enable every individual to grow to become the best they can be as they shine a light on their achievements.

Catherine said the money raised was most welcome and could go towards providing outdoor toys or trips out for wheelchair bound pupils.

Ex-Services Club Chairman, Nick Howes, presented Megan with a bouquet of flowers and praised her for her fundraising activities. Last year Megan raised £250 for forces charity the SSAFA.

Megan and Libby would like to thank Banham Zoo, Harley Cabs, Hemstock’s Jewellers, Merv’s Family Car Sales, Morrison’s and friends from the Club for their prize donations.
