The NSPCC has teamed up with Scottish and Southern Energy to help raise money for the Charity's Schools Fund-raising Programme and Antony, Duncan, Lee and Simon from Blue are encouraging children to get involved. The schools programme, which has been running for more than 20 years, provides dedicated schools organisers who present awareness talks and fund-raising ideas to children around the country.
