BUDDING young actors from a Pedmore primary school have raised £370 for the children's ward at the Dudley Group of Hospitals.

Children aged from four to seven from Ham Dingle Primary School put on a Christmas performance of Babushka to help raise money for the Trust.

Melaina Williams, a teacher at the school said: "A few weeks before the Christmas production my son had to spend some time on the children's ward at the trust.

"I put forward a suggestion to raise money for the hospital this year and it was agreed.

"I think a lot of parents at the school have had children who have attended the hospital or have spent time on the children's ward and so it's great we could raise £370."

Pam Smith, matron for the ward said: "I would like to thank the school and the parents for their generous donations.

"The money raised will be put towards purchasing news toys and equipment for the children to play with."
