STUDENTS have raised more than £500 for charity by selling homemade snacks and by holding a fashion show.
The geography students from Thirsk School made £292 through schemes at the school.
Barclays Bank matched the students' efforts pound for pound, making their total £584.
The money raised will be shared between WaterAid, the Fairtrade Foundation and a school in Nepal.
It is hoped the schemes picked will receive immediate support and longer-term aid.
The students raised the money by selling home-made cakes and biscuits made from Fairtrade ingredients.
Fairtrade works by a group of buyers agreeing to pay a reasonable rate to farmers in poor countries for their goods.
Students also hosted a fashion show, with models showing off the clothes, plus there was a Fairtrade jewellery stall.
