Pupils and parents at Llangrove CE Primary School raised £1,000 last Sunday by preparing and serving 200 cooked breakfasts for villagers from the surrounding area at their third annual Big Breakfast.

The majority of the money raised will be donated to Hereford based charity The Little Princess Trust which provides real hair wigs for children suffering from hair loss.

The Llangrove Big Breakfast on February 7th provided around 200 local people with a hearty Herefordshire breakfast in the school hall. The event was a real community affair with children, staff, parents, Governors and others from local villages helping to prepare and serve food and wash up.

The event continued Llangrove CE Primary School's impressive record of support for its local community. The school's links with the surrounding villages were rated 'outstanding' in their most recent Ofsted report.

Headteacher, Catherine Beeks, who joined the large team of helpers, said she was extremely proud that the event created such a positive link between the school and the local community. 

"It was lovely to see everyone working so hard for such a worthwhile cause. Support from local people and businesses has been superb and has enabled us to raise a fantastic amount of money".

Neil Powell butchers provided sausages, Bartonsham Farm Dairy donated milk and Waitrose gave bread, coffee and tea. Sainsburys and several pubs and restaurants provided raffle prizes.
