PUPILS braved the cold to sing for charity.

The choristers from the private Yarm Prepraratory School entertained shoppers in the streets of Stockton to raise money for the town's Butterwick Hospice.

People contributed nearly £100 to the collection.

Headteacher Gillian Taylor who attended the event with the choir said that the children sang beautifully and always enjoyed supporting the community in whatever way they could.
