School pupils will be doing their bit next week to raise money for two  charities.

The pupils and staff at Westhoughton High School will be taking part in a charity fun run to help raise money for Children with Cancer UK and for Derian House.

A school spokesman said: “The whole school are involved in a charity fun run next Tuesday raising money for two charities close to the heart of team Westhoughton High School.

“So far we have raised £580 for Children with Cancer UK and £1136 for Derian House!

“Thank you to all who have donated so far, lets all give it a big push over the weekend to raise even more.”

Derian House works to provide respite and end-of-life care to more than 450 children and young people across the North West with a hospice in Chorley and charity shops in Bolton.

Children with Cancer UK aims to support youngsters all over the country who are living with the disease.
