A cake sale at a junior school has raised more than £650 for a cancer charity.

The Hiltingbury Junior School Year 6 pupils in Chandler's Ford sold the treats during their Carols Around The Tree event.

The money raised will be donated to Wessex Cancer Support and will help fund emotional and wellbeing support for people affected by cancer.

Zoe Loosemore, headteacher, said: "As part of our Year 6 curriculum project, 'Does adversity make you stronger?', our children really wanted to learn more about local charities and what we can do to help those dealing with adversity in their lives.

"We were all very inspired to get involved and raise as much money as we could.

"Cancer affects many of us in different ways and in recent years has impacted our school personally."
