KIND-HEARTED youngsters tested their willpower and kept quiet to raise money for charity.
Children at St Patrick's RC School, in Consett, held a sponsored silence and raised £1,832.75 for Willowburn Hospice, in nearby Maiden Law, Lanchester.
Pupils Daniel Kilty and Rebecca Walker, both 11, presented the cheque to the chairman of Derwentside District Council, Councillor David Llewellyn.
