Maylandsea Community Primary School will be holding a fundraising day in aid of CLIC Sargent on June 19.

The charity has provided accommodation for the Shipton family during their many visits to the University College Hospital in London, where Timmy Shipton, 8, has had chemotherapy.

There will be an action packed day for pupils with a sponsored penalty shoot out featuring Eddie the Eagle, dodgeball, tag rugby and zumba.

A grand raffle and sealed auction is also taking place.

Items available in the sealed bid include a signed Colchester United Football, a place at Chelsea soccer school, Anfield tour and museum visit for a family of four, plus overnight accommodation, plus a signed cricket bat from Essex County Cricket Club.

To place a bid, contact the school on 01621 742251.

Raffle tickets are available from Hardy’s and All Occasions in Maylandsea and Sparklight Racing in Burnham.

Tickets will be available from the school next week.

Prizes range from meals, attraction tickets to hampers.
