CHILDREN from an Exmouth school dressed in silly hats to raise money for a hospital fund.

Pupils at St Joseph's School, on Long Causeway, took part in a silly hat day last Friday in aid of the Paediatric Oncology Fund at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital's Bramble Children's Ward.

The event was organised by class one and its parents. More than �300 was raised.

One of the children from the class is being treated for leukaemia and attends the Bramble Ward.

The paediatric oncology department cares for children and young people with the condition.

Parent Emma Richardson will be running the Adidas 5km women's challenge in Hyde Park in September for the same charity.
