The Help for Heroes charity has been presented with a cheque for £10,000 from staff and children at a nursery school.<\/p>\n
Busy Bees in Hatfield Road, St Albans, generated the cash through a fun-filled fundraising week, as well as 21 other of the organisation's venues across the country, the St Albans review reports.<\/p>\n
The seven-day period had a heroes theme and included a fancy dress parade, special visits from heroes in the community and other activities.<\/p>\n
Nursery manager Lorraine Middleton said the youngsters had lots of fun raising the sum.<\/p>\n
She added: "We are delighted with the amount of money we have raised and hope to raise even more for the charity next year."<\/p>\n
The cheque-giving ceremony was attended by members of the Mercian Regiment, who thanked all of those involved for their efforts.<\/p>\n
Bus driver Dave Gerrard – known as something of a comic among friends – recently vowed not to tell a single joke throughout December to raise cash for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
