RUMMAGING around in cupboards and wardrobes has helped pupils give a boost to people in Eastern Europe.

Youngsters at Ryedale School, in Nawton, have collected a huge amount of clothing to send to Romania, Albania and the Ukraine.

The school will send sacks and boxes full of gifts with the aid of the Jacob's Well charity. It is the ninth year running that the children have worked to help people abroad.

Deputy headteacher Paul Clay said: "Our pupils and their families are very generous and are always pleased to help others in the world."
