CHILDREN are benefiting from a post office collection after performing songs for its customers. Pupils from Our Lady School of Martyrs, Hamsteels and Esh Winning primary schools spent time singing at Esh Winning Post Office recently.

As a reward, customers gave generously to a collection organised by postmaster Derek Miller. He has a permanent collection for the schools and shared the money among them.

Six children also received £25 in children's bonus bonds from National Savings and investments after winning a wordsearch competition.
