PUPILS at a Ribble Valley school have been raising money to help dia betes sufferers. Their fund-raising was spurred by
the fact that one of their classmates has had the condition from an early age.
More than £100 was raised by the
staff and pupils at St Joseph’s RC School, Hurst Green, after they donat ed money to swop their school uni forms for jeans. The fund-raising scheme Denim for
