MONEY has been raised for Ugandan orphans during a sponsored walk.
Members of Conyers Youth Club, in Stockton, gave up part of their half-term holiday to help raise the funds.
Maisie Lewis, Jack Lee, Sammy Booth, Hannah Spencer and Miles Sayer earned £100 in the eight-mile walk for Yvonne Hubbard, who is moving to Uganda to work in the Kasana Children's Orphanage, which is home to more than 400 children.
The young people trekked from Newton-under-Roseberry, in Guisborough, and up to the Captain Cook monument on the North York moors and back again.
The children will present Yvonne with the cheque on Monday, and they hope to keep in touch with her through letters.
Diane Simms, youth service support officer with Stockton Borough Council, said: "We're all very proud of these youngsters and their efforts to raise money for Yvonne and the Ugandan orphans."
